Lawmakers are considering rolling back an Obama-era rule that requires airlines to show the total price of a ticket upfront in advertising, while also tweaking training requirements for airline pilots and making other changes in a massive bill covering the Federal Aviation Administration.
On Friday, Republicans and Democrats on the House Transportation Committee released a 773-page proposal to reauthorize FAA programs for the next five years.
Rep. Rick Larsen, D-Wash., described the proposal as a compromise and said many issues could still be fought out when congressional committees begin considering changes in the legislation next week.
The FAA is under fire for a shortage of air traffic controllers, aging technology and close calls between planes. The agency has a new acting administrator with no aviation experience. It has lacked a Senate-confirmed leader for more than a year, since the last one resigned halfway through his term.
One provision of the House bill would let airlines advertise the “base airfare” — excluding taxes and fees — as long as they include a link to the all-in price or disclose it some other way. That would weaken an Obama administration rule that airlines have long fought to kill, and consumer advocates are unhappy about the House move.
“These protections were hard fought and took years to enact,” said William McGee, an aviation expert at the American Economic Liberties Project. “Any consumer can tell you that online airline bookings are confusing enough. The last thing we need is to roll back an existing protection that provides effective transparency.”
The House committee leaders also propose to let people become airline pilots with less time in the cockpit. The bill would not change the requirement for 1,500 hours of training, but it would allow 250 hours — up from the current 100 hours — to occur in simulators rather than flying a plane.
Airlines, particularly the smaller ones that operate regional flights, have long fought against the 1,500-hour rule, which already has exemptions that let military pilots and graduates of some aviation schools qualify with fewer hours. The rule was put in after a 2009 crash that killed 50 people.
Garth Thompson, head of the Air Line Pilots Association unit at United Airlines, said it is “a horrible idea" to weaken the rule.
“That rule, like so many federal aviation regulations, is written in blood, literally,” Thompson said. “That regulation came about because of the Colgan Air crash and other crashes that involved experience issues.”
Asked about changes in airfare advertising and pilot training, Larsen said, “It's something we can live with.” The change in pilot training rules, he said, is a priority of the Transportation Committee's Republican chairman, Sam Graves of Missouri, and both sides had to compromise during drafting of the bill.
Elsewhere in the bill, Larsen said, Democrats were able to include provisions they wanted, such as those covering wheelchair accessibility.
The bill also includes provisions aimed at improving airport infrastructure and the supply of sustainable aviation fuel. It would require airline planes to be outfitted with better cockpit voice recorders and, for the first time, cockpit video recorders to improve accident investigations. Pilots have opposed the video recorders.
Some other contentious topics were left out, including raising the mandatory retirement age of 65 for pilots and easing restrictions on flights from Reagan Washington National Airport in northern Virginia.

Pentagon: Chinese spy balloon spotted over Western US
WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. is tracking a suspected Chinese surveillance balloon that has been spotted over U.S. airspace for a couple days, but the Pentagon decided not to shoot it down due to risks of harm for people on the ground, officials said Thursday. The discovery of the balloon puts a further strain on U.S.-China relations at a time of heightened tensions.
A senior defense official told Pentagon reporters that the U.S. has “very high confidence” it is a Chinese high-altitude balloon and it was flying over sensitive sites to collect information. One of the places the balloon was spotted was Montana, which is home to one of the nation’s three nuclear missile silo fields at Malmstrom Air Force Base. The official spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive information.
Brig. Gen. Patrick Ryder, Pentagon press secretary, provided a brief statement on the issue, saying the government continues to track the balloon. He said it is “currently traveling at an altitude well above commercial air traffic and does not present a military or physical threat to people on the ground.”
He said similar balloon activity has been seen in the past several years. He added that the U.S. took steps to ensure it did not collect sensitive information.
The defense official said the U.S. has “engaged” Chinese officials through multiple channels and communicated the seriousness of the matter.
The incident comes as Secretary of State Antony Blinken was supposed to make his first trip to Beijing, expected this weekend, to try to find some common ground. Although the trip has not been formally announced, both Beijing and Washington have been talking about his imminent arrival.
It was not immediately clear if the discovery of the balloon would impact Blinken’s travel plans.
The senior defense official said the U.S. did get fighter jets, including F-22s, ready to shoot down the balloon if ordered to by the White House. The Pentagon ultimately recommended against it, noting that even as the balloon was over a sparsely populated area of Montana, its size would create a debris field large enough that it could have put people at risk.
The official would not specify the size of the balloon, but said it was large enough that despite its high altitude, commercial pilots could see it. All air traffic at the Billings, Montana, Logan International Airport was placed on a temporary ground stop Wednesday as the military provided options to the White House. A photograph of a large white balloon lingering over the area was captured by the Billings Gazette, but the Pentagon would not confirm if that was the surveillance balloon.
The official said what concerned them about this launch was the altitude the balloon was flying at and the length of time it lingered over a location, without providing specifics.
Tensions with China are particularly high on numerous issues, ranging from Taiwan and the South China Sea to human rights in China’s western Xinjiang region and the clampdown on democracy activists in Hong Kong. Not least on that list of irritants are China’s tacit support for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, its refusal to rein in North Korea’s expanding ballistic missile program and ongoing disputes over trade and technology.
On Tuesday, Taiwan scrambled fighter jets, put its navy on alert and activated missile systems in response to nearby operations by 34 Chinese military aircraft and nine warships that are part Beijing’s strategy to unsettle and intimidate the self-governing island democracy.
Twenty of those aircraft crossed the central line in the Taiwan Strait that has long been an unofficial buffer zone between the two sides, which separated during a civil war in 1949.
Beijing has also increased preparations for a potential blockade or military action against Taiwan, which has stirred increasing concern among military leaders, diplomats and elected officials in the U.S., Taiwan’s key ally.
The surveillance balloon was first reported by NBC News.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Treasury Department’s internal watchdog is investigating whether Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis improperly used federal pandemic aid to fly migrants to Martha’s Vineyard as part of his effort to “transport illegal immigrants to sanctuary destinations.”
At issue is whether millions of dollars in interest earned on State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds, disbursed through the American Rescue Plan, was used to facilitate the transport of about 50 Venezuelans from Texas to Massachusetts in mid-September, with a stopover in Florida on the way.
The recovery funds program has strict requirements on how the money can be spent. Documents indicate Florida officials paid Destin, Fla.-based Vertol Systems Co. $1.56 million for the Martha’s Vineyard flight and possibly for a flight to Delaware, the home state of President Joe Biden, that ultimately didn’t happen.
The inspector general’s office has audit work planned on “recipients’ compliance with eligible use guidance,” Treasury Deputy Inspector General Richard K. Delmar said in a letter addressed to Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., who requested the investigation.
“We plan to get this work underway as quickly as possible, consistent with meeting our other oversight mandates and priorities,” the letter said. Treasury does not have a confirmed inspector general.
Markey wrote to the inspector general’s office in September, shortly after DeSantis arranged the trip, which received wide publicity. The Florida governor said the migrants traveled voluntarily to Massachusetts.
“The use of federal COVID relief funds in this manner runs contrary to congressional intent and appears to violate federal law,” Markey and six other Massachusetts lawmakers wrote in a Sept. 17 letter to Delmar. Markey said DeSantis was “effectively using COVID-19 relief to score political points by exploiting vulnerable immigrants.”
The White House has called the trip to Martha’s Vineyard a “cruel, premeditated political stunt.”
Delmar did not indicate when the probe would be complete. Other law enforcement agencies throughout the U.S. have also launched investigations of migrant trips arranged by Republican lawmakers to Democratic strongholds.
The flight has also spawned an investigation by a Texas sheriff and two lawsuits. The Treasury Department referred questions to the inspector general’s office, which did not respond to a request for comment.

Bruce Boudreau has been fired as coach of the Vancouver Canucks, who are again on track to miss the playoffs with another underachieving season.
The team announced the change Sunday, less than a week since president of hockey operations Jim Rutherford said “major surgery” was needed to fix the Canucks, who have only made the playoffs once in the past eight years. Rick Tocchet was hired as Boudreau’s replacement for a Vancouver team that has lost 28 of 46 games this season.
“This was not an easy decision to make but one that we felt was necessary for this franchise,” general manager Patrik Allvin said in a statement thanking Boudreau for his contributions.
Boudreau waved to the crowd after the Canucks’ latest defeat Saturday night, their third in the past four games. Chants of “Bruce, there it is!” to the tune of Tag Team’s “Whoomp! (There It Is)” echoed around the arena as a tribute to the well-respected 68-year-old hockey lifer who ranks among the top regular-season coaches in NHL history.
He’s the second coach Vancouver has fired in under 14 months. Boudreau took over in December 2021 when previous coach Travis Green and general manager Jim Benning were let go 25 games into last season.
Assistant Trent Cull was also relieved of his duties, the team said Sunday. Adam Foote was named as an assistant and Sergei Gonchar a defensive development coach on Tocchet’s staff.
Tocchet previously coached the Tampa Bay Lightning for parts of two seasons from 2008-10 and the Arizona Coyotes for four years from 2017-21. He won the Stanley Cup as a player with the Pittsburgh Penguins and then twice as an assistant for them.
“Rick Tocchet brings a wealth of knowledge to this team from both a coach and player perspective,” Allvin said. “He has had more than two decades of coaching experience, guiding teams of various styles.”
The Canucks have missed the playoffs the past two seasons since reaching the second round in the COVID-19 bubble in 2020.
Boudreau was with his fourth NHL organization after stints with Washington, Anaheim and Minnesota. He won the Jack Adams Award as coach of the year in 2007-08 when he was elevated from the minors to coach the Capitals on Thanksgiving and got them to the playoffs.
Teams coached by Boudreau for a full season have made the playoffs nine out of 10 times. His .626 points percentage ranks fourth among coaches with at least 500 games behind the bench, and his 617 wins are tied for 20th in league history.
But a Canucks team in disarray did not give him much of a chance to keep that success going. Rutherford in a news conference Monday said big changes would be coming in the offseason, citing the need for the team to get younger.
They could happen before that, especially with captain Bo Horvat unsigned beyond this season and attracting attention ahead of the March 3 trade deadline.

FORT WORTH, Texas, March 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Olympus Property is pleased to announce the acquisition of King's Quarter at Jack Britt in Fayetteville, North Carolina. Established in 1992 with a steadfast vision of becoming an industry leader, Olympus Property boasts a wealth of experience and a hands-on approach throughout the investment process.
The company continues to grow its presence in the multifamily real estate industry, providing residents with a best in class living experience and investors strong returns. Olympus currently owns and manages over 27,000 units spanning across 14 states being Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Kentucky, Montana, New Mexico, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and Wyoming.
King's Quarter at Jack Britt, a 252-unit garden style community, marks the third holding for Olympus Property in the supply-constrained market of Fayetteville. This acquisition strategically positions Olympus as one of the largest owner/operators in the MSA. The area has experienced explosive growth over the past few years, with a metropolitan population increase of 37.9% from 2016 to 2021, making Fayetteville one of the fastest growing cities in America. In conjunction with strong in-migration trends, rents have been increasing at double digit rates, far surpassing the national average of 2.6%. These macro-economic fundamentals support continued long-term growth at the property, as well as the submarket.
"Fayetteville was just ranked amongst the top in the nation with year over year rent growth north of 11%," notes Travis Bertetto, Associate Director of Acquisitions at Olympus Property. "Paired with the economies of scale we will realize by owning two other assets in the market, this acquisition will be a great addition to our expanding portfolio."
The property is well situated near some of the region's largest employers including VA Healthcare Centers, Goodyear Tire, and Fort Bragg, which collectively supports over 50,000 jobs in the area.
The property is also within a 20-minute commute of Amazon's state-of-the-art 1.3 million square foot fulfillment facility located on Bragg Boulevard, which is expected to open later this year.
Built in 2014, King's Quarter at Jack Britt boasts a variety of amenities including a playground, pool area with cabanas, grilling stations, pet park, fitness center, and garages.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE) — On Wednesday, a U.S. District Court judge sentenced a Huntington man to four and a half years in prison after he pleaded guilty to dealing and manufacturing illegal guns.
In addition to a 54-month prison sentence, 26-year-old Adam Meekin will also serve two years of supervised release.
According to documents in the case, authorities started an investigation in 2018 based on seized firearms from Indiana, Illinois and Michigan that were used in crimes, which eventually led to Meekin being identified as the man behind the guns.
Authorities learned that Meekin’s family members completed paperwork and purchased at least 122 lower receivers for Meekin, which are what the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms (ATF) and Explosives classifies as the actual firearm, according to court documents.
A lower receiver is a part of a gun that may include a trigger, a safety assembly, a magazine assembly or possibly a grip, stock and buffer tube.
Typically, someone cannot fire a bullet with just lower receiver, but that part is needed to complete the gun.
During the investigation, undercover officers discovered that Meekin was operating a virtual gun shop online. He had a Facebook page, a website and even business cards made up advertising what he could sell, according to court documents.
Undercover officers communicated with Meekin over Facebook and at his Huntington home over the course of roughly two years.
During an undercover meeting with Meekin in 2019, Meekin reportedly told the undercover officer that he had “made some shady (expletive) in my day,” according to court documents.
In other undercover meetings and Facebook conversations, Meekin also reportedly told authorities that “there is nothing I can’t build” and that he had “a small army of firearms,” according to court documents.
“The flow of illegally purchased firearms, especially ‘ghost guns,’ must stop,” said U.S. Attorney Clifford D. Johnson.

NEW YORK — Some parts of Twitter's source code — the fundamental computer code on which the social network runs — were leaked online, the social media company said in a legal filing on Sunday that was first reported by The New York Times.
According to the legal document, filed with the U.S. District Court of the Northern District of California, Twitter had asked GitHub, an internet hosting service for software development, to take down the code where it was posted. The platform complied and said the content had been disabled, according to the filing. Twitter also asked the court to identify the alleged infringer or infringers who posted Twitter’s source code on systems operated by GitHub without Twitter’s authorization.
Twitter, based in San Francisco, noted in the filing that the postings infringe copyrights held by Twitter.
The leak creates more challenges for billionaire Elon Musk, who bought Twitter last October for $44 billion and took the company private. Since then, it has been engulfed in chaos, with massive layoffs and advertisers fleeing.
Meanwhile, the Federal Trade Commission is probing Musk’s mass layoffs at Twitter and trying to obtain his internal communications as part of ongoing oversight into the social media company’s privacy and cybersecurity practices, according to documents described in a congressional report.
The FTC has been watching the company for years since Twitter agreed to a 2011 consent order alleging serious data security lapses. But the agency's concerns spiked with the tumult that followed Musk's Oct. 27 takeover of the company.

Standing up to nominate Rep. Byron Donalds for House speaker, Republican Rep. Chip Roy addressed the woman presiding over the chamber as “Madam speaker.”
The third-term congressman quickly corrected himself. “Madam clerk,” he acknowledged with a smile.
The flub, coming on the second day of voting, illustrated the rising stature of House clerk Cheryl Johnson, a central figure in the drama that has become a dayslong effort to select a speaker. Round by round, she has called for the start of each vote and has announced at the end that, once again, no speaker has been elected.
A look at Johnson and her increasingly prominent role:
WHO IS CHERYL JOHNSON?
According to her official bio, Johnson is the 36th person to serve as clerk and was first sworn in by then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi in 2019. She is the first Black woman to preside over the House chamber.
A New Orleans native, Johnson has worked for the House for nearly two decades, serving as chief investigative counsel and spokesperson for the Committee on Education and the Workforce. She was also counsel for the committee with oversight over the Library of Congress and the Smithsonian Institution, where she worked for 10 years liaising with congressional committees with jurisdiction over its funding.
A journalism and mass communication graduate of the University of Iowa, Johnson got her law degree from Howard University and graduated from the senior management program at Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government.
On Friday, in nominating Democratic House leader Hakeem Jeffries — whom Democrats have unanimously supported throughout every round of voting — outgoing House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn addressed Johnson, thanking her for her service during a contentious week.
“Madam clerk, I want to begin by thanking you for your contribution to maintaining the dignity and honor of this august body,” said Clyburn, who as the No. 3 House Democrat had been the chamber’s highest-ranking Black member. “The eyes of the country are on us today. Let us consider what they will remember.”
WHAT DOES THE CLERK DO?
Until a speaker is chosen, and the members-elect are officially sworn in, the clerk is in charge of the chamber, tasked with calling each day’s session to order, calling the roll and deciding procedural questions that may arise.
It’s also up to the clerk to maintain order in the House chamber, which at times has involved using her gavel to tamp down a dull roar of chatter during the debate.
After there’s a speaker in place, the clerk’s role becomes more procedural, keeping records of floor activity, preparing, printing and distributing the daily journal, and certifying the passage of bills and resolutions.
The clerk also acts as a go-between for the House and the Senate, as well as the White House, when the chamber isn’t in session, receiving and delivering messages. He or she also supervises the staff of any member who dies, resigns or is expelled, until a replacement is elected.
In addition to duties inside the chamber, there are a number of other offices whose jurisdiction falls under the clerk, including those tracking legislation, transcribing floor proceedings, and processing and retaining House records until they are transferred to the National Archives.
John Beckley of Virginia was chosen as the first clerk of the House in April 1789. The clerk also served as librarian of Congress until 1815, when that became a separate position.
HOW ARE CLERKS SELECTED?
The clerk is a professional employee of Congress, one of the House officers elected every two years when the House organizes for a new session.
Each caucus nominates candidates for those positions, but those elections can’t happen until after the session’s new speaker is selected. So, at least for now, Johnson remains in office.

This is the first clinical trial approved in China for presbyopia drugs and Arctic Vision's study marks the first patient enrollment in a Phase III clinical trial for presbyopia drugs in China. ARVN003 is expected to be the first approved drug for presbyopia in China.
SHANGHAI, July 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Arctic Vision, a China-based biotech company focused on innovative ophthalmic therapies, today announced that the first patient has been enrolled in a Phase III clinical study evaluating ARVN003, a proprietary pilocarpine formulation leveraging its micro dosing platform Optejet®, as a treatment to temporarily improve vision in adults with presbyopia in China.
The Phase III study is double-masked, placebo-controlled, randomized, and multicenter trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of ARVN003 in achieving temporary improvement of vision in adults with presbyopia. It is the first clinical trial approved in China for presbyopia drugs and Arctic Vision's study marks the first patient enrollment in a Phase III clinical trial for presbyopia drugs in China.
Presbyopia is a physiological condition that makes it difficult to read and work in near distance. It is caused by the hardening of the lens and weakening of the ciliary muscle and often occurs with aging. Pre-presbyopia typically affects people between the ages of 35 and 45; early presbyopia affects people between the ages of 45 and 52; and late presbyopia, also known as absolute presbyopia, affects people over the age of 52. Today, nearly a quarter of the world's population is affected by presbyopia. With China's rapidly ageing population, the nation is seeing a year-on-year increase in the number of people suffering from presbyopia. Latest data revealed more than 390 million people in China are diagnosed with presbyopia in 2021.
Current treatment options for presbyopia include presbyopic reading glasses, contact lenses and surgery. However, due to limited treatment options and inadequate scientific understanding of the disease, many presbyopia patients in China do not receive intervention or vision correction in time. Untreated and escalated, presbyopia adversely impacts vision, quality of work and life, and the psychological well-being of middle-aged and elderly people. It might also increase financial burden on families and society.
Professor Jia Qu, the Principal Investigator and renowned leader in China's ophthalmology sector – President of Eye Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University said, "With China's rapidly aging population and a growing number of younger presbyopia patients, there is exponential demand for effective, safe, and convenient presbyopia treatments. We are excited to lead China's first clinical study of presbyopia medication and look forward to the approval of ARVN003 in the near future."
Dr. Qing Liu, Co-Founder and Chief Medical Officer at Arctic Vision added, "ARVN003's significant clinical progress is encouraging. This clinical achievement follows the successful dosing of the first DME patient in Asia with 锋脉® (Feng Mai) or Arcatus™ (ARVN001), and is testimony of the strength of Arctic Vision's proprietary microdose array print (MAP™) technology in the public eye health sector. We strive to make ARVN003 the first approved presbyopia drug in China, and benefit more presbyopia patients with innovative and diverse treatment options that will help them see and live better."
Arctic Vision obtained an exclusive license in August 2020 for the development and commercialization of ARVN003 (MicroLine) in Greater China and South Korea from Eyenovia, a U.S.-based clinical-stage biopharma company. In May 2021, Eyenovia announced positive results from the first Phase 3 MicroLine study, VISION-1, in the U.S. In that trial, the primary endpoint was achieved with MicroLine 2% statistically superior to placebo, determined by improvement in high contrast binocular distance corrected near visual acuity measured in low light conditions two hours after treatment.
About ARVN003
ARVN003 is a proprietary pilocarpine formulation leveraging microdosing platform Optejet® for the pharmacologic treatment for presbyopia. Pilocarpine ophthalmic solution is known to constrict the pupil and improve near-distance vision by creating an extended depth of focus through its small aperture effect. The administration of pilocarpine uses high-precision microdosing platform Optejet® to provide improvement in near vision while enhancing tolerability and usability.
About Optejet®
Optejet uses high-precision piezo-print technology to deliver approximately 8μL of drug, consistent with the capacity of the tear film of the eye. The volume of ophthalmic solution administered with the Optejet is 80% less than that delivered using conventional eye drops, thus reducing overdosing and exposure to drug and preservatives. Eyenovia's patented microfluidic ejection technology, MAP™ is designed for fast ocular surface delivery, where medication is dispensed as an array of microdroplets to the ocular surface in approximately 80 milliseconds, faster than the ocular blink reflex. Ease of use and successful delivery of medication by Optejet has been demonstrated in more than 85% of the attempts after basic training in a variety of clinical settings compared to 40 – 50% with conventional eyedroppers[i]. Additionally, its smart electronics and mobile e-health technology are designed to track and enhance patient compliance.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — A recount in Texas affirmed Democrat U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar as the winner Tuesday of his primary race against progressive challenger Jessica Cisneros, who had trailed by fewer than 200 votes following a runoff in May.
Cuellar, a nine-term congressman, defeated Cisneros by 289 votes, according to results of the recount announced by by the Texas Democratic Party.
The Associated Press had not previously declared a winner in the race because it had been too close to call.
It is the second time that Cisneros, a 29-year-old immigration attorney who once interned for Cuellar, has lost a challenge to her former boss, whose moderate record along Texas’ heavily Hispanic southern border has aligned him at times with Republicans on issues including abortion and guns.
This time Cisneros got even closer than in 2020, when she lost by 4 percentage points behind national support from the party’s progressive leaders, including Sens. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts. They endorsed her again in the rematch along with abortion-rights groups that swooped into the race as the U.S. Supreme Court signaled it might overturn Roe v. Wade.
Cuellar is one of the last anti-abortion Democrats in Congress and has also bucked party for years over his support of gun rights and tougher stance on immigration. But he still kept the support of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Democratic leadership.
Cuellar will face Republican Cassy Garcia in November in a district that remains favorable to Democrats, But the GOP has growing confidence in South Texas, a longtime Democratic stronghold, after Republican Mayra Flores flipped an open congressional seat in a special election Tuesday.

KEENE, N.H. — Mike Pence delivered his old talk radio tag line as a kind of benediction at the 2016 Republican National Convention, calling on a wary party to trust his embrace of Donald Trump, the conquering New York billionaire.
"I'm a Christian, a conservative and a Republican - in that order," Pence assured the crowd.
But when he used the same line March 16 to open his speech to the Cheshire County Republican Committee, he meant something closer to the opposite. The Republican Party, he warned a crowd of hundreds in the first presidential primary state, was being led astray.

"We have to resist the politics of personality, the lure of populism unmoored by timeless conservative values," Trump's former vice president and a likely 2024 presidential candidate said to applause.
He described “some in our party” who don’t want to deal with the coming fiscal catastrophes of entitlements like Social Security and Medicare, a category that includes both Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. He dismissed as a failure of American leadership DeSantis’s recent claim that the Ukraine war was merely a “territorial dispute.” And he said Republicans need to embrace the issue of abortion “now more than ever,” a subtle reference to Trump blaming abortion politics for the Republicans’ disappointing 2022 midterm results.
This was Mike Pence unmoored. Back in early 2016, he had initially endorsed Texas Senator Ted Cruz, resisting Trump’s rising popularity for an ideological compatriot. He kept the note he wrote to himself that day: “I’m tired of politics, I just want me back.”
Now was a second chance to be the man he was known to be before. Pence is betting that in 2024, the Trump disruption he once cheered was more of an aberration than a transformation.
"I think now calls for a different style of leadership," Pence had explained hours earlier in Manchester, during an interview with The Washington Post. "I think this time also calls for a return to the threshold of civility that existed not so long ago in American politics at the national level and still defines the way most Americans treat each other every day."

No Republican was more closely associated with Trump's presidency than Pence, who served as his fawning No. 2, always trying to be at the president's side, often shouldering cleanup duty or rounding out the sharp edges. He vouched for Trump despite objecting to his plans to ban Muslims from travel to the United States, his sexual assault comments on an "Access Hollywood" tape and his racist attacks on a federal judge. But the two men finally broke over the outcome of the 2020 election, culminating when Trump attacked Pence on Twitter on Jan. 6, 2021, while a violent mob marched on the U.S. Capitol chanting "Hang Mike Pence!"
Pence has now returned to nurturing the deep relationships with conservative activists that he built while serving in Congress, when he straddled a line of opposing some of President George W. Bush's spending priorities as too liberal but still found a way to rise through House leadership.
Before Trump, Republicans followed a pecking order when it came to picking presidential nominees, entertaining the iconoclasts for a bit before sacrificing sizzle for the next in line: Vice President George H.W. Bush in 1988, Kansas Senator Bob Dole in 1996, Texas Governor George W. Bush in 2000, Arizona Senator John McCain in 2008, and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney in 2012.

"Pence is in a position similar to Biden in the spring of 2019," said Tim Phillips, a veteran conservative strategist who previously ran Americans for Prosperity. "Biden was not at the top of the polls. He was not at the top of fundraising. However, he was a known entity, and he knew exactly who he was. It allowed him to be in a position to win when the campaign came to him."
The 2024 campaign, however, has yet to turn in favor of Pence, who has said he expects to make a decision on whether to run this spring, though his official announcement could come this summer.
Early polls put him in the mid-single digits with little buzz, despite near universal name recognition. But with a decision on running still months away, he is keeping the schedule of a presidential candidate, crisscrossing the early states for private meetings with activists, laying out policy addresses with visits to the old cathedrals of Reagan conservatism - the Goldwater Institute, Bob Jones University, the American Enterprise Institute, the Club for Growth and Liberty University.
He still argues that Trump was the only Republican who could have beat Democrat Hillary Clinton in 2016. He still credits Trump with giving a new lease on life to a "dying political party." And he still defends some of the Trump pivots away from classic conservatism, including the criminal justice reforms in the First Step Act that reduced some sentencing guidelines.

"I think we changed the national consensus on China. I think $250 billion in tariffs on China was an idea whose time has come," he said in the interview.
In an interview Saturday with SiriusXM's "Breitbart News" show, Pence also said he was "taken aback" by the possibility that Trump could be arrested if a Manhattan district attorney successfully obtains an indictment on charges related to hush money paid to porn star Stormy Daniels. Trump on Saturday angrily called for protests if such arrest happens.
"It reeks of the kind of political prosecution that we endured in the days of the Russia hoax and the whole impeachment over a phone call," Pence said, referring to a special counsel probe and Trump's first impeachment.
But in other ways Pence has broken with Trump and many fellow Republicans, with plans for a major speech Tuesday laying out his proposals for Social Security and Medicare changes.
"I know the president has made it clear that his he's aligned with Joe Biden on Social Security and Medicare," Pence said. "Joe Biden's policy is insolvency."
Trump's position on not making changes to Medicare and Social Security remains unchanged since 2016 and 2020. "My perception was always that was a work in progress," Pence said. "I was optimistic that we were going to get it to it."
He has written and spoken publicly about Trump's role in the effort to overturn the 2020 election result and in inspiring the rioters that attacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, saying that history will hold Trump accountable. But his attorneys have also filed objections to Pence testifying before a grand jury investigating Trump's role, arguing that at least some part of what he would be asked about could be covered by the "speech or debate" clause of the U.S. Constitution, which protects legislative actions from executive branch investigation.

"I'm limited in what I'm able to say," Pence said. "But I do believe that the decision to subpoena a former vice president of the United States for actions taken as president of the Senate is unconstitutional."
When asked in Manchester if he would still be running on the Trump ticket had the former president taken his advice and conceded the election in 2020, Pence stopped walking to his next appointment and thought a moment.
"What a great hypothetical that was," he said, without offering an answer.
Then he recounted a story, quoting almost word for word from his recent memoir, about a private conversation with Trump in the Oval Office, with Pence standing by the couch near the clock. His suggestion that Trump "take a bow" and run again in 2024. A moment of pause in the president's face.
"He just pointed at me and then squinted his eyes and walked into the backroom," Pence said of Trump, who never took the advice. "And I'll always wish he had."
Many Republican voters, however, remain skeptical of Pence - with some hardcore Trump loyalists viewing him as a traitor for refusing to overturn the 2020 election and some of those eager to move past the Trump era dubious of the guy who spent all those years square-jawed and standing just behind Trump.
In a recent episode of "The Focus Group," a podcast on the anti-Trump conservative website The Bulwark, Republican strategist Sarah Longwell shared snippets of a focus group featuring two-time Trump voters who, like Pence, also identify as evangelical. While the participants were more sympathetic to Pence than some of the nonevangelical groups - who were often brutally dismissive of him - they, too, were not supportive of him as a Republican candidate.
Several said they didn't really know much about Pence or what he stood for, with one man likening him to Vice President Harris, President Biden's much-criticized No. 2. "I almost feel like he's the Donald Trump equivalent of Kamala Harris, where I can't name a single thing that she's done," the man said.
"Every single one said the same thing about Mike Pence: he'd be a fine neighbor, but why would anyone vote him?" Longwell said. "It's not just that they wouldn't vote for him - but that nobody would vote for him."
Pence's advisers say the campaign for president is just now getting underway and there is plenty of time.
"He's got 95 percent name I.D., but most people don't know who he is," said one Pence adviser, who requested anonymity to speak about campaign strategy. "When they meet this guy, they really like him."
Pence works voters with a frictionless comfort born of thousands of grip-and-grins in countless rooms with voters and activists. He knows just how to bare his teeth for a kind half smile that looks natural in the photo line. He makes eye contact with every voter he meets, and laces his stump speech with folksy language and boasts about his three grandkids born in the last two years.
At the bar of the Keene Best Western, Ernest White, 38, an excavator operator with a long beard and an empty glass of beer, said he was ready to choose Pence over Trump after meeting the former vice president in person.
"I just felt good. It really felt good to shake his hand," White said. "I felt comfortable."

A teenager was injured after a man shot at children playing hide-and-seek in his yard, mistaking them for intruders, according the The (Lake Charles) American Press.
Authorities were called to a home in Starks on Sunday evening after reports of gunshots. A 14-year-old girl was taken to the hospital with a gunshot wound the the back of the head, the Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's Office said. Her injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.
Calcasieu Parish Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Kayla Vincent said when officers arrived at the scene, homeowner David V. Doyle, 58, told them he went outside and saw shadows in his yard, then returned inside to get his firearm. Vincent said Doyle told detectives he began shooting at people running away from his property and he didn't know he hit the girl.
Doyle was arrested and faces charges of aggravated battery; four counts of aggravated assault with a firearm; and illegal discharge of a firearm. He was taken to the Calcasieu Correctional Center. His bond is still pending.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — California’s governor announced Friday that he won’t ask the state Supreme Court to block parole for Charles Manson follower Leslie Van Houten, paving the way for her release after serving 53 years in prison for two infamous murders.
In a brief statement, the governor’s office said an appeal was unlikely to succeed.
Newsom is disappointed, the statement said.
“More than 50 years after the Manson cult committed these brutal killings, the victims’ families still feel the impact,” the statement said.
Van Houten, now in her 70s, is serving a life sentence for helping Manson and other followers in the 1969 killings of Leno LaBianca, a grocer in Los Angeles, and his wife, Rosemary.
Van Houten could be freed in about two weeks after the parole board reviews her record and processes paperwork for her release from the California Institution for Women in Corona, her attorney Nancy Tetreault said.
She was recommended for parole five times since 2016 but Newsom and former Gov. Jerry Brown rejected all those recommendations.
However, a state appeals court ruled in May that Van Houten should be released, noting what it called her “extraordinary rehabilitative efforts, insight, remorse, realistic parole plans, support from family and friends” and favorable behavior reports while in prison.
“She’s thrilled and she’s overwhelmed,” Tetreault said.
“She’s just grateful that people are recognizing that she’s not the same person that she was when she committed the murders,” she said.
After she’s released, Van Houten will spend about a year in a halfway house, learning basic life skills such as how to go to the grocery and get a debit card, Tetreault said.
“She’s been in prison for 53 years. … She just needs to learn how to use an ATM machine, let alone a cell phone, let alone a computer,” her attorney said.
Van Houten and other Manson followers killed the LaBiancas in their home in August 1969, smearing their blood on the walls after. Van Houten later described holding Rosemary LaBianca down with a pillowcase over her head as others stabbed her, before herself stabbing the woman more than a dozen times.
“My family and I are heartbroken because we’re once again reminded of all the years that we have not had my father and my stepmother with us,” Cory LaBianca, Leno LaBianca’s daughter, told The Associated Press in a telephone interview Friday.
“My children and my grandchildren never got an opportunity to get to know either of them, which has been a huge void for my family,” said Cory La Bianca, who is 75.
The LaBianca murders happened the day after Manson followers killed actress Sharon Tate and four others. Van Houten did not participate in the Tate killings.
Manson died in prison in 2017 of natural causes at age 83 after nearly half a century behind bars.

SHANGHAI, May 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Abbisko Therapeutics Co., Ltd. ("Abbisko Therapeutics" hereafter) today announced that the updated results of Phase Ib study of its CSF-1R inhibitor Pimicotinib (ABSK021) in treating patients with advanced tenosynovial giant cell tumor ("TGCT"), will be released at the 2023 American Society of Clinical Oncology ("ASCO") annual meeting to be held in Chicago, USA from June 2 to June 6, 2023.
The data demonstrates the excellent antitumor efficacy and the safety profile of Pimicotinib in the treatment of patients with advanced TGCT and will be presented with the title of "EFFICACY AND SAFETY PROFILE OF PIMICOTINIB (ABSK021) IN TENOSYNOVIAL GIANT CELL TUMOR (TGCT): PHASE 1B UPDATE" in a poster presentation with the poster Bd# of "493".
Among the data released by Abbisko, the most remarkable result is the objective response rate (ORR) of the 50 mg QD dose group of Pimicotinib (ABSK021), which reached 77.4% (24/31), including two complete responses (CR) and 22 partial responses (PR). Additionally, 87.5% (21/24) of patients with objective response were observed within the first 25 weeks.
In addition, Pimicotinib (ABSK021) also presented apparent advantages in terms of safety profile.
Currently Pexidartinib developed by Daiichi Sankyo is the only drug approved for the treatment of TGCT (tenosynovial giant cell tumor) in the global market. However, it has been given a "black box warning" by the FDA due to the potential risk of fatal liver damage, and its objective response (ORR) is only 38%. Nevertheless, Daiichi Sankyo achieved sales of approximately US$40 million in the global market with Pexidartinib. CICC predicts that the global market of TGCT could amount to around 1 billion US dollars. Compared with Pexidartinib of Daiichi Sankyo, Abbisko's Pimicotinib shows better efficacy and safety in the treatment of TGCT. Thus, it is expected to become a best-in-class drug. Assuming that Pimicotinib could be approved for the indication of TGCT in the United States in 2025 with a market penetration rate of 20%, its peak sales is expected to reach 3.14 billion yuan (after risk adjustment) with listing price reference to Pexidartinib of $250,000 per year.
About Pimicotinib
Pimicotinib is a novel, orally available, highly selective, and highly potent small molecule inhibitor of CSF-1R independently discovered and developed by Abbisko Therapeutics. A number of studies have shown that blocking the CSF-1R signaling pathway could effectively modulate and change macrophage functions, and potentially treat many macrophage-dependent human diseases. Pimicotinib has been granted the breakthrough therapy designation from both CDE on July 20, 2022 and FDA on January 30, 2023 for the treatment of tenosynovial giant cell tumor (TGCT) patients who are not amenable to surgery.
Pimicotinib is the first highly selective CSF-1R inhibitor discovered by a Chinese company that entered into a global phase III clinical trial. April 27, 2023, the first patient dosing of "A Phase 3, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-Controlled, Multicenter Study of ABSK021 to Assess the Efficacy and Safety in Patients with Tenosynovial Giant Cell Tumor" was completed in Beijing Jishuitan Hospital. This study is the first global Phase III study of TGCT to be conducted simultaneously in China and the US. Approximately 100 participants are scheduled to be enrolled in approximately 50 centers worldwide, including 30 centers in China.
About TGCT
TGCT is a locally aggressive neoplasm which usually affects synovial joints, mucous sacs, and tendon membranes, resulting in swelling, pain, stiffness, and decreased activity of the affected joints which seriously affect the patient's quality of life. According to the 2013 World Health Organization classification, TGCTs were classified as localized TGCT and diffuse TGCT. Diffuse TGCT encompasses formerly known nodular tenosynovitis and pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS). Overexpression of CSF-1 occurs in most TGCTs. Surgical resection is the standard treatment for TGCT. However, not all patients are suitable for surgical treatment. It is difficult to remove tumors of diffuse TGCT patients by surgery, which may possibly lead to severe joint damage, total synovectomy, joint replacement, or even amputation, and the risk of surgical complications can be high. It has been reported that more than 50% of patients with diffuse TGCT will undergo recurrence after surgical resection. For TGCT patients not amenable to surgery, there is currently no approved drug available in China.

NEWTON, Mass. — Massive flames and smoke filled the night sky near Boston, Massachusetts, over the weekend.
State and local officials are investigating the cause of a four-alarm fire at a residence in Newton Friday night.
Firefighters found the 5,000-square-foot home fully engulfed in flames when they arrived on the scene around 10:30 p.m.
The blaze caused a large section of the three-story structure to collapse.
According to fire officials, it took crews three hours to extinguish the flames.

BEIJING (AP) — U.S. Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry will travel to Beijing next week to discuss strategies for limiting global warming, amid a push by the world’s two largest economies to reengage on multiple issues following a sharp decline in contacts.
Kerry’s office said he will arrive Sunday and depart July 19. He is due to meet with his counterpart Xie Zhenhua, with whom he has established a strong working relationship.
“During meetings with PRC officials, Secretary Kerry aims to engage with the PRC on addressing the climate crisis, including with respect to increasing implementation and ambition and promoting a successful COP28,” Kerry’s office said in a press release, referring to China’s formal title, the People’s Republic of China, and the UN Climate Change Conference scheduled to be held in the United Arab Emirates in November and December.
Kerry’s visit comes on the heels of one by Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, who appealed to China on Saturday for cooperation on climate change and other global challenges and not to let disagreements about trade and other irritants derail relations.
In a meeting with her Chinese counterpart, Vice Premier He Lifeng, Yellen defended U.S. restrictions on technology exports that rankle Beijing. She said the two governments shouldn’t let such disagreements disrupt thriving economic and financial relations.
During a visit last month, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken met with Chinese President Xi Jinping and said they agreed to “stabilize” badly deteriorated U.S.-China ties, but America’s top diplomat left Beijing with his biggest ask rebuffed: better communications between their militaries.
After meeting Xi, Blinken said China is not ready to resume military-to-military contacts, something the U.S. considers crucial to avoid miscalculation and conflict, particularly over Taiwan, the self-ruled island democracy claimed by China as part of its territory.
The visits by U.S. officials are part of efforts to revive relations that are at their lowest level in decades due to disputes over trade, technology and regional security.
Beijing broke off climate discussions with Washington last August in retaliation for a visit by then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi of the House of Representatives to Taiwan.
Kerry has said China needs to step up its carbon reduction targets that now have it hitting peak output in 2030 and becoming carbon neutral in 2060. The country is currently the top emitter of fossil fuels, owing partly to its continued operation and building of coal-fired power plants.
Xi’s government has resisted pressure to rapidly phase out coal plants, arguing that China is still a developing nation and should not be held to the same climate standards as the U.S. and other big Western economies.

BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — Thousands of students and other opponents of Hungary's government marched in the capital Budapest on Wednesday to demand educational reforms and a change in the Central European country's political culture.
The protest, dubbed a “freedom march” by organizers, was called by teachers unions and student groups who have spent months pressuring Hungary's government to provide salary raises and better working conditions for educators. The groups have also demanded the repeal of legislation that limits teachers' right to strike.
Marchers chanted slogans like “no teachers, no future” and “striking is a basic right” as they moved down one of Budapest's main avenues. Student groups and teachers have engaged in strikes, walkouts and other acts of civil disobedience in recent months after the government didn't fulfill their demands, resulting in several teacher firings.
Katalin Torley, a teacher that was fired from a Budapest high school after working there for 23 years, said at the demonstration that Hungary had become an “extremely centralized authoritarian system” which has taken away autonomy from those working in the public sphere.
“I think that this movement is not anti-government but against the system,” she said. “Those teachers who engaged in civil disobedience showed that a normal system must be restored.”
The March 15 demonstration came on a national holiday commemorating the 175th anniversary of Hungary’s failed 1848 revolution against Habsburg rule. One of Hungary's most important national holidays, March 15 often features large patriotic demonstrations as well as protests in the capital.
Hungary's populist prime minister, Viktor Orbán, broke with his tradition of giving an address in Budapest, instead speaking to supporters in the small town of Kiskoros, around two hours from the capital.
The address was given in front of the childhood home of Sandor Petofi, widely regarded as one of Hungary’s greatest poets who was instrumental in fomenting the Hungarian rebellion against the Austrian empire in 1848.
In his speech, Orbán spoke at length about Petofi's contributions to Hungarian political culture, saying the poet had “created the dialect of Hungarian freedom.”
Although Petofi is thought to have been killed in 1849 as he fought in the revolution, Hungarians still feel his presence today when foreign forces attempt to impose their will on Hungary, Orbán said.
“He flashes before our eyes, whenever we hesitate, when we falter. We see him as he rebels when foreigners want to tell the Hungarians how to live. We see him turning against the great powers of the world who want to reintegrate Hungarians into a European superstate,” he said.
Hungary's government is a frequent critic of the European Union, which has held up billions in funding to Budapest over concerns that Orbán has overseen widespread official corruption and violated the bloc's rule-of-law standards.
Orbán has often referred to the EU as an “empire” that seeks to dominate Hungary, just as the Austrian Empire and Soviet Union had in the 19th and 20th centuries. He won his fourth-straight term in office in elections in 2022.
“We will never allow the flag of freedom to be wrenched from the hands of the Hungarians,” Orbán said Wednesday. “We will not allow it, and it will not succeed.”
___
This story has been corrected to show that the demonstration marked the 175th anniversary of the uprising, not the 150th.

Company extending its One Click MRI™ acquisition software to other anatomies to make MRIs faster, easier and accessible to all
CHICAGO, Nov. 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- HeartVista, a pioneer and leader in automated MRI solutions, today announced that it has changed its name to Vista.ai as the company broadens its sights to simplify and enhance MRI exams for anatomies beyond the heart. A major academic medical center has already begun a clinical study to evaluate the software for use with the prostate, and Vista.ai plans to launch a similar study for musculoskeletal scans in the near future. The company made the announcement from the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) 108th Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting held Nov. 27-Dec. 1, 2022, in Chicago.
Vista.ai's One Click MRI AI-driven software-only solution makes it easier to acquire high quality MRI images by automating the exam workflow. The company initially targeted cardiac MRI (CMR) as it is increasingly considered the gold-standard cardiac diagnostici, yet the heart is a notoriously difficult and time-consuming anatomy to scan. Today, specially-trained CMR technologists need to perform an exam, and in the U.S., there is only one such technologist for every 20 MRI machinesii. One Click MRI's benefits include simple, streamlined workflows and improved image consistency, so any MRI technologist can complete a cardiac scan in a regular mixed-use MRI time slot.
Vista.ai is demonstrating One Click MRI this week at Booth 5143 in the AI Showcase during RSNA exhibit hours. In addition, Raymond Y. Kwong, MD, MPH, FACC, FSCMR Director of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, will share case studies and research findings using the software in his clinical cardiac MRI practice. Dr. Kwong will present at noon CST, Monday, Nov. 28, 2022, in the RSNA AI Theater (#5149).
Vista.ai developed One Click MRI using sophisticated and versatile AI-based algorithms that would be scalable to other types of MRI scans. The company chose the prostate and spine as its next candidates because of known challenges with those exams and the number of people who could benefit. In the U.S., more than 10 million people receive prostate and spine MRI scans annually, 25% of the total MRI volume.iii
"Given the complexity of manual CMR, and the millions of patients who could benefit from the exam, it was clear that applying our automation technology to the heart would create enormous value in the market. Despite the evidence-backed advantages of MRI for diagnosing a myriad of heart conditions, only 2% of scans today are CMRsiv yet 700,000 people are dying of heart disease each year in the U.S.v," said Itamar Kandel, Vista.ai's CEO. "But we always knew it was just the beginning. Once we had the most complex anatomy tested, validated, adopted and endorsed by several elite medical institutions, we planned to roll out to other anatomies that would share in the benefits we have shown for numerous heart diseases."
Each year clinicians in the U.S. conduct almost 40 million examsvi on the approximately 12,000 MRI machines installed in the country.vii But MRI scanners are only beneficial if trained healthcare professionals are available to run the exam, which is an escalating concern. In 2019, the U.S. had 20,000 fewer healthcare professionals than necessary to meet the needs of Americansviii, a situation that only worsened during the COVID-19 pandemic.
"Radiologist and technologist burnout is at a breaking point, which has only worsened since the pandemic given the exodus of medical professionals, backlog of imaging cases and increasing incidence of COVID-related illnesses, such as myocarditis and pericarditis," said Dr. Scott Flamm, Section Head of Cardiovascular Imaging at The Cleveland Clinic Foundation. "To address the staffing shortages – particularly for challenging, time-consuming procedures like CMR – we are in earnest need of automation technologies like Vista.ai's One Click MRI to ensure patients anywhere can receive the quickest possible diagnosis and treatment."
Vista.ai is harnessing the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to offer clinicians an easy, cost-effective and less stressful way to conduct MRI studies. The company's FDA 510(k) cleared One Click MRI™ software-only solution automates and dramatically simplifies a CMR exam, enabling a hospital to obtain greater scanner throughput or get a CMR program off the ground cost-effectively. One Click MRI is available for use on Siemens Healthineers and GE Healthcare MRI scanners. Vista.ai is funded by Khosla Ventures and the National Institute of Health's Small Business Innovation Research program.

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — A federal judge on Wednesday ordered a fresh round of mediation talks aimed at restructuring more than $8 billion in debt held by Puerto Rico’s power company as it struggles to recover from Hurricane Fiona.
In addition, U.S. District Court Judge Laura Taylor Swain allowed a federal control board that oversees the island’s finances to go to court to determine how much money bondholders should receive as they seek to recover their investments.
The board warned earlier that any expenses linked to debt repayment would be passed along to the power company’s 1.47 million clients.
The board also was ordered to file a debt-restructuring plan for the island’s Electric Power Authority by Dec. 1, with a confirmation hearing scheduled for mid-2023.
A spokeswoman for the board said it did not have immediate comment.
The rulings come as more than 311,000 customers remain without power more than 10 days after Fiona slammed into Puerto Rico’s southwest tip as a Category 1 storm, sparking an island-wide blackout. Several hospitals also remain connected to generators.
“It is totally unacceptable,” said Manuel Calderón Cerame, spokesman for the main opposition Popular Democratic Party.
Fuel disruptions have forced grocery stores, gas stations and other businesses to temporarily close as the demand for diesel to feed generators grows. Hundreds of schools also remain shuttered.
Government officials have vowed to try and restore power to 91% of clients by Friday as they push to restructure the power company’s debt.
In early March, Pierluisi had announced that his administration was scrapping a proposed debt restructuring deal because it was not favorable to the island’s economy or the power company’s clients.
Then on Sept. 16, officials announced that mediation talks had failed. In response, a bondholder group that holds or insures 65% of the power company’s debt sought to have the bankruptcy case dismissed and a receiver appointed.
On Wednesday, the judge denied their request.
A spokesman for the bondholder group did not immediately return a message for comment.
The power company holds the largest debt of any of Puerto Rico’s government agencies, and it is one of two agencies whose debt has not yet been restructured more than five years after the U.S. territory filed for the largest municipal bankruptcy in history.
Puerto Rico’s Highways and Transportation Authority still holds $5.8 billion in debt.

When you ask Joan Smith, owner of Rancho Meladuco in Mecca, California, about dates, you’re met with an onslaught of adjectives: “Meaty. Soft. Delicate. Buttery. Complex. Rich. Dense. Chewy. Boozy. Caramel-like. Maple. Cinnamon-raisin-y.”
Smith has been growing dates for about seven years on her 200-acre ranch in the Coachella Valley, the same area that’s home to the famed music festival. If you’ve ever picked up a packet of dried dates in your local grocery store, you may not be sure what all the fuss is about. Those shriveled brown dried fruit? I was never a huge date fan until I tasted the freshness, and “meatiness,” of Rancho Meladuco’s dates. Smith is spot on: Dates are chewy and dense. But they also have an unexpected creaminess that makes them ideal to use raw or cooked in everything from smoothies to soups, salads, pizza toppings, sauces and baked goods. I started cooking with dates and fell in love.
Dates grow in clusters (like grapes) on date palms, which are native to the Middle East. They are considered a sweet stone fruit. There are more than 200 varieties of dates grown in the U.S., but the most common are Medjools, a large, plump, meaty variety. Also look for Delget Noor, a less sweet, nutty-flavored date, which is often sold pitted and chopped, and used for baking. Honey dates have a molasses-like flavor, and Khadrawy (pronounced ‘ká-draw-ee) have a dry exterior and a smooth texture with a brown sugar essence.
In terms of health, dates have a high sugar content. The sugar intensifies as the dates dry and moisture evaporates. Many consider dates a superfood: nutrient-rich, high in antioxidants and fiber. Six dates contain around 250 calories. When shopping for dried dates, look for fruit that is slightly translucent and not clumped together or mashed.
According to Joan Smith, because of the high sugar and low moisture content in dates, they can be frozen for several years. Yes, years!
These three recipes show off some of the possibilities of using dates, both raw and cooked. A gorgeous wedge salad with blue cheese, dates and crispy prosciutto. A roasted carrot and date dish (which works well as a vegetarian main course or side dish) topped with a date vinaigrette and pistachios. And finally, an upside-down date-orange cake that is simple to make and very impressive.
All these recipes were tested with Medjool dates. Click here for more information and to mail order Rancho Meladuco dates.
Wedge salad with sauteed dates, blue cheese dressing and crispy prosciutto. (Kathy Gunst/Here & Now)
Wedge salad with sauteed dates, blue cheese dressing and crispy prosciutto
This is a riff on the classic wedge salad with blue cheese. Here, dates are split open, pitted and gently sauteed in olive oil. A blue cheese dressing is made by blending the cheese with olive oil, lemon juice, milk and mayonnaise. A wedge of iceberg is coated in the dressing, topped with the sauteed dates and if you like, thin strips of sauteed, crispy prosciutto. It’s a luscious combination of crisp, sweet and earthy. When you saute the dates, the natural sugars emerge and they taste like candy.
Serves 4.
Ingredients
The blue cheese dressing:
- ¼ cup blue cheese, crumbled
- ⅓ cup buttermilk (or ⅓ cup milk plus 1 tablespoon lemon juice)
- 3 ½ tablespoons olive oil
- 2 ½ tablespoons lemon juice or Meyer lemon juice
- 1 ½ tablespoons mayonnaise
- Hot sauce (to taste)
- Salt and pepper
The dates and prosciutto:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 12 dates, cut in half and pitted
- 3 to 4 very thin slices prosciutto, cut into small strips, optional
- 1 head iceberg lettuce, cut into 4 wedges
Instructions
- Make the dressing: In a food processor or blender, blend the blue cheese, buttermilk, oil, lemon, mayonnaise, salt, pepper and hot sauce to taste. Can be made, covered and refrigerated, a day ahead of time.
- Prepare the dates: In a medium skillet, heat the oil over low heat. Add the dates and cook, stirring, for 4 to 5 minutes, flipping them from side to side. Be careful not to let them burn. Remove with a slotted spoon onto paper towels. Add the prosciutto to the hot skillet, if using, and cook, stirring over moderate heat for 3 to 5 minutes, or until crisp. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
- Arrange the wedges on 4 plates or one large serving platter. Spoon some of the dressing on top and sprinkle with the date and prosciutto. Serve any remaining dressing on the side.

Roast carrots and dates with a date-orange-mint vinaigrette and pistachios
Dates are used in two ways in this gorgeous vegetable dish; They are roasted with the carrots and also chopped raw to add flavor to an orange and mint-flavored vinaigrette. The dish is topped off with crunchy salty pistachios. You can also serve this dish with a dollop of Greek yogurt, sour cream or labne. Serve as a first course, side dish or main course with crusty bread.
Serves 4.
Ingredients
The carrots:
- 1 pound carrots, peeled and left whole if thin and young, or halved or quartered lengthwise if thick and fat
- 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 5 dates, pitted and cut into thin slivers, about ½ cup
The vinaigrette and pistachios:
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
- ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
- 3 dates, pitted and coarsely chopped
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- ⅓ cup coarsely chopped salted pistachios, almonds, walnuts or your favorite nut
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Place the peeled carrots in a medium ovenproof skillet or on a sheet pan and coat with the oil, salt and pepper. Roast for 15 minutes. Add the slivered dates, stirring well to coat with the oil, salt and pepper and roast for another 5 minutes, or until the carrots are just tender when tested with a small, sharp knife. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the vinaigrette: Mix the herbs, coarsely chopped dates, orange juice, oil, salt and pepper. Taste for seasoning.
- Transfer the carrots and roasted dates to a serving plate. Spoon the vinaigrette over the top and sprinkle with the pistachios. Serve hot or at room temperature.
Upside-down date and orange cake
Upside-down date and orange cake. (Kathy Gunst/Here & Now)
Sometimes the world just feels inside out and upside down and we need a new way of looking at things. That’s the idea behind this fabulous upside-down date and orange cake. Creamy dates form the base (which, when flipped, becomes the topping) for this chewy, sweet, crunchy cake. A quick sugar coating is formed in a skillet, topped with date slices and then an orange cake batter is placed on top. The cake bakes, cools for a few minutes, is flipped over, and you have a gorgeous date upside-down cake. I know I throw the word “simple” around a lot when it comes to my recipes but in this case, it applies; A truly sophisticated cake is made in about an hour. It goes equally well with coffee and tea, dessert, or breakfast.
Serves 6 to 8.
Ingredients
The date topping:
- ½ stick unsalted butter
- ¾ cup light brown sugar
- 10 ounces dates, pitted and cut in quarters
The orange cake:
- 1¾ cup all-purpose flour (210 grams)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Pinch fine salt
- 1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup fresh orange juice (from about 1 to 2 oranges)
- 1 teaspoon orange zest (from the juice oranges, zest before juicing)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- In a 10-inch heavy ovenproof skillet (cast iron is ideal) melt the butter over low heat. Increase the heat to medium, stir in the brown sugar and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring, until the mixture is bubbling. Remove from the heat and let cool for about 3 minutes.
- Carefully arrange the dates on top of the brown sugar mixture, in circles working from the outside in. The dates can overlap slightly but you want to try to create a flat layer. Set aside.
- Make the cake batter: In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and salt.
- In a stand mixer or using a handheld beater, beat the butter on medium speed until soft and light, 2 to 3 minutes. Beat in the granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes more. Add the eggs one at a time, beating until each is fully incorporated before adding the next, stopping and scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Mix in the vanilla. Add half the flour mixture and beat on low speed until incorporated. Add the orange juice and orange zest, mixing until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the skillet over the dates and carefully spread it evenly with a rubber spatula.
- Bake on the middle shelf until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, about 30 to 40 minutes. Remove and let cool in the skillet for 5 minutes, but not too much longer or it may stick to the skillet. Place a large serving plate or round platter on top of the skillet and very carefully invert the skillet and plate together to flip the cake out onto the plate. Let cool slightly, then serve warm or at room temperature.

TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — A massive, 23-ton hunk of Chinese space junk orbiting Earth is expected to make a chaotic return to Earth on Friday, but it’s unknown exactly when or where it will come down.
According to a report from space.com, the space junk in question comes from the core stage of a Long March 5B rocket, which reached orbit around Earth on Monday to deliver the final module for China’s Tiangong space station.
While the core stage has been orbiting for the past few days, atmospheric drag has been pulling the rocket body back to Earth little by little.
The media outlet said models and observations suggest the rocket body will make its final return Friday morning, but the possible time stretches across several hours.
The Aerospace Corporation, which supports national security space programs, said in its latest prediction that the rocket body could make an atmospheric reentry Friday around 7:20 a.m. EDT, plus or minus three hours.
With a cone of uncertainty that large, parts of North America, nearly all of Central America, and most of Africa are in the potential line of fire for space debris impact.
However, “it is still too early to determine a meaningful debris footprint,” the corporation added.
While there is no need for panic, considering much of the rocket body will likely burn up upon reentry, it is possible some sturdier pieces could survive the fall back to the ground, posing a risk to people and infrastructures in its way.
It’s not the first time a piece of man-made falling debris has posed a threat to the planet. It’s not even the first time a Chinese rocket part has come crashing down. Core stages from all three Long March 5B launches have fallen back to Earth in an uncontrolled manner, most recently in July, after the rocket transported the Wentian module to Tiangong.
While other private space companies or agencies designed their orbital rockets to return into the ocean or over unpopulated land, or, in the case of SpaceX, autonomously to land for future reuse, the Long March 5B core stage reaches orbit and has no way to steer itself down, so it uses atmospheric drag to chaotically do the work.

HAVANA (AP) — Hurricane Fiona struck Puerto Rico's southwest coast on Sunday as it unleashed landslides, knocked the power grid out and ripped up asphalt from roads and flung the pieces around.
Hundreds of people were evacuated or rescued across the island as floodwaters rose swiftly. Rushing rivers of brown water enveloped cars, first floors and even an airport runway in the island's southern region.
Forecasters said the storm threatened to dump "historic" levels of rain on Sunday and Monday, with up to 30 inches (76 centimeters) possible in eastern and southern Puerto Rico.
"The damages that we are seeing are catastrophic," said Gov. Pedro Pierluisi.
The storm washed away a bridge in the central mountain town of Utuado that police say was installed by the National Guard after Hurricane Maria hit in 2017. Large landslides also were reported, with water rushing down big slabs of broken asphalt and into gullies.
Fiona was centered 45 miles (75 kilometers) south-southeast of Punta Cana, Dominican Republic with maximum sustained winds of 85 mph (140 kph) on Sunday night, according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center. It was moving to the west-northwest at 10 mph (17 kph).
Fiona struck on the anniversary of Hurricane Hugo, which hit Puerto Rico 33 years ago as a Category 3 storm.
The storm's clouds covered the entire island and tropical storm-force winds extended as far as 140 miles (220 kilometers) from Fiona's center.
U.S. President Joe Biden declared a state of emergency in the U.S. territory as the eye of the storm approached the island's southwest corner.
Luma, the company that operates power transmission and distribution, said bad weather, including winds of 80 mph, had disrupted transmission lines, leading to "a blackout on all the island."
"Current weather conditions are extremely dangerous and are hindering out capacity to evaluate the complete situation," it said, adding that it could take several days to fully restore power.
Health centers were running on generators — and some of those had failed. Health Secretary Carlos Mellado said crews rushed to repair generators at the Comprehensive Cancer Center, where several patients had to be evacuated.
Fiona hit just two days before the anniversary of Hurricane Maria, a devastating Category 4 storm that struck on Sept. 20, 2017, destroying the island's power grid and causing nearly 3,000 deaths.
More than 3,000 homes still have only a blue tarp as a roof, and infrastructure remains weak, including the power grid. Outages remain common, and reconstruction started only recently.
"I think all of us Puerto Ricans who lived through Maria have that post-traumatic stress of, 'What is going to happen, how long is it going to last and what needs might we face?'" said Danny Hernández, who works in the capital of San Juan but planned to weather the storm with his parents and family in the western town of Mayaguez.
He said the atmosphere was gloomy at the supermarket as he and others stocked up before the storm hit.
"After Maria, we all experienced scarcity to some extent," he said.
The storm was forecast to pummel cities and towns along Puerto Rico's southern coast that have not yet fully recovered from a string of strong earthquakes starting in late 2019.
More than 1,000 people with some 80 pets had sought shelter across the island by Sunday night, the majority of them in the southern coast.
Ada Vivian Román, a 21-year-old photography student, said the storm knocked down trees and fences in her hometown of Toa Alta.
"I'm actually very anxious because it's a really slow-moving hurricane and time does not move," she said. "You look at the clock and it's still the same hour."
She said she is also worried about whether the public transportation she relies on to get to her job at a public relations agency will be operating by the time she has to go back to the office.
"But I know that I'm privileged compared with other families who are practically losing their homes because they are under water," she said.
In the southwest town of El Combate, hotel co-owner Tomás Rivera said he was prepared but worried about the "enormous" amount of rain he expected. He noted that a nearby wildlife refuge was eerily quiet before the storm hit.
"There are thousands of birds here, and they are nowhere to be seen," he said. "Even the birds have realized what is coming, and they're preparing."
Rivera said his employees brought bedridden family members to the hotel, where he has stocked up on diesel, gasoline, food, water and ice, given how slowly the government responded after Hurricane Maria.
"What we've done is prepared ourselves to depend as little as possible on the central government," he said.
Puerto Rico's governor, Pierluisi, activated the National Guard as the Atlantic hurricane season's sixth named storm approached.
"What worries me most is the rain," said forecaster Ernesto Morales with the National Weather Service in San Juan.
Fiona was predicted to drop 12 to 16 inches (30 to 41 centimeters) of rain over eastern and southern Puerto Rico, with as much as 30 inches (76 centimeters) in isolated spots. Morales noted that Hurricane Maria in 2017 had unleashed 40 inches (102 centimeters).
Fiona was forecast to swipe the Dominican Republic on Monday and then northern Haiti and the Turks and Caicos Islands with the threat of heavy rain. It could threaten the far southern end of the Bahamas on Tuesday.
A hurricane warning was posted for the Dominican Republic's eastern coast from Cabo Caucedo to Cabo Frances Viejo.
Fiona previously battered the eastern Caribbean, killing one man in the French territory of Guadeloupe when floods washed his home away, officials said. The storm also damaged roads, uprooted trees and destroyed at least one bridge.
St. Kitts and Nevis also reported flooding and downed trees, but announced its international airport would reopen on Sunday afternoon.
In the eastern Pacific, Tropical Storm Madeline was forecast to cause heavy rains and flooding across parts of southwestern Mexico. The storm was centered about 160 miles (260 kilometers) west-southwest of Cabo Corrientes on Sunday night, with maximum sustained winds of 50 mph (85 kph).

Black Hawk pilots killed in crash were experienced
By KIM CHANDLER, LOLITA C. BALDOR and KIMBERLEE KRUESI
Associated Press
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — Two Tennessee National Guard pilots killed when their Black Hawk helicopter crashed along an Alabama highway were both experienced aviators with more than a dozen years of military service apiece, military officials said Thursday. The National Guard identified the pilots as Chief Warrant Officer 3 Daniel Wadham of Joelton, Tenn. and Chief Warrant Officer 3 Danny Randolph of Murfreesboro. Tenn. The helicopter crashed during a training exercise Wednesday, plummeting to the ground in a community just outside Huntsville, Alabama and catching fire as it hit the ground. The Tennessee National Guard said in a statement that the helicopter was approaching the Huntsville Executive Airport, “when the aircraft rapidly descended and impacted the ground.”

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Charles Kimbrough, a Tony- and Emmy-nominated actor who played a straight-laced news anchor opposite Candice Bergen on “Murphy Brown,” died Jan. 11 in Culver City, California. He was 86.
Kimbrough played newsman Jim Dial across the 10 seasons of CBS hit sitcom “Murphy Brown” between 1988 and 1998, earning an Emmy nomination in 1990 for outstanding supporting actor in a comedy series. He reprised the role for three episodes in the 2018 reboot.
The New York Times first reported his death and his son confirmed it Sunday to The Associated Press.
Kimbrough’s wife, actor Beth Howland who played diner server Vera on the 1970s and ’80s CBS sitcom “Alice,” died in 2016. They married in 2002, more than a decade after his 1991 divorce from his first wife, Mary Jane (Wilson) Kimbrough, who died in 2007.
The Times reports that Kimbrough is survived by a sister, Linda Kimbrough, a son, John Kimbrough, and a stepdaughter, Holly Howland.
Born May 23, 1936, Kimbrough spent years in the New York theater scene. He was nominated for a Tony in 1971 for his Broadway performance in the Steven Sondheim musical “Company.”
Kimbrough also lent his voice to a gargoyle named Victor in Disney’s animated film “The Hunchback of Notre Dame.”

DURHAM, N.C., July 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- New data from Target RWE's TARGET-PBC cohort found that pruritis (itching) was reported in 81% of patients with Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC), with those reporting clinically significant pruritus (30%) scoring worse on each domain of the PBC-40 and 5-D itch, more frequently having cirrhosis, and having significantly greater levels of fatigue. The study, "Impact of Pruritus on Quality of Life and Current Treatment Patterns in Patients with Primary Biliary Cholangitis," was published in the peer-reviewed journal Digestive Diseases and Sciences.
PBC is a chronic liver disease in which bile ducts are slowly destroyed. PBC is associated with debilitating symptoms that affect quality of life, including pruritus and fatigue. The new research from Target RWE explored the impact of pruritus on quality of life and how it is treated in a real-world setting.
Key findings include:
- Patients reporting clinically significant pruritus were more likely to receive treatment, but 33% had never received treatment (no itch = 43.9%, mild itch = 38.3%).
- When itch medication was used, current treatment guidelines were not usually followed; in this cohort, 69.4% of patients with itch were currently treated with antihistamines despite data that cholestatic itch is not histamine-mediated.
- Only 24% of those with any itch who were receiving treatment for pruritus, and 9% of all patients with any itch reported, were treated with bile acid binding resins, which are recommended as first line therapy by the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases and the European Association for the Study of the Liver.
"Clinically significant itch was associated with worse cognition, fatigue, emotional health, sleep, social life (including isolation, guilt, neglect, and sex life). The impact of itch on quality of life was truly pervasive! It is shocking to see that a third of patients with clinically significant itching have never been on any specific therapy despite the negative impact on quality of life," said Cynthia Levy, M.D., Associate Director for the Schiff Center for Liver Diseases, University of Miami, and study co-author.
"These eye-opening data illustrate the real-world extent, impact, and current management practice patterns of pruritus in PBC patients within the United States. Unfortunately, debilitating itch is prevalent but underestimated, and current options for medical treatment are not fully utilized," said Marlyn Mayo, M.D., Professor of Internal Medicine, University of Texas Southwestern, and study co-author.
"Current treatment options are only partially effective, and none are FDA-approved specifically for the treatment of cholestatic pruritus in patients with PBC. Rigorously designed clinical trials, as well as greater research efforts, are needed to better evaluate and communicate the debilitating impact of pruritus in PBC patients and to identify highly effective therapies needed to provide effective solutions to this significant problem," said Michael W. Fried, M.D., FAASLD, Co-Founder and Chief Medical Officer, Target RWE.
A total of 211 patients with completed patient-reported outcomes (PRO) surveys were included in the study. PRO respondents were compared with non-respondents in the TARGET-PBC population and were broadly similar. Dr. Levy and Dr. Mayo are current members of the TARGET-PBC steering committee, which includes Dr. Levy serving as Chair of the committee.
TARGET-PBC is a longitudinal, observational cohort sponsored by Target RWE of patients with PBC across the U.S., enrolling over 700 participants to date. Real world data is collected from consented participants, who may also provide patient-reported outcome measures and biospecimens. Learn about TARGET-PBC publications here.

Below Deck Mediterranean's Kyle Viljoen has found himself in rough waters with fellow stew Natalya Scudder.
On the Oct. 10 episode of the hit Bravo series, the crew mates got into a screaming match after Natalya accused Kyle of slacking on the job.
When Natalya confronted him for not cleaning a guest's VIP room, Kyle exploded, telling her, "If you think you're going to come for me like you come for everyone else, you are f--king mistaken. I will put you right in your place, trust me. I'm not going to eat your bulls--t like you can pick on everyone else...I'll switch that bitch off in two f--king seconds."
Now, Kyle is revealing what really lead to his big blowup.
"I bit my tongue way too long," Kyle exclusively told E! News, adding that fans could see "the build-up" of their tensions "throughout the season."
However, he called the fight "one that I'm certainly not proud of because the inner demon inside me arises during that moment."
"I literally start blacking out and I don't see stars, I literally see red and go for it," he explained of losing his temper. "But it takes a lot to really put me in that position...It kind of makes sense why certain things have happened. People are tired, people are exhausted, then put emotions on top—things are going to happen."
Fans will have to wait until the Oct. 17 episode to see the fallout from their fight, but the teaser for next week does feature another heated moment between Kyle and Natalya, hinting their bad blood won't be at bay any time soon.
Below Deck Mediterranean airs Mondays at 8 p.m. on Bravo. Stream episodes one week early on Peacock.
(E!, Bravo and Peacock are all part of the NBCUniversal family.)

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — It didn’t take long for top-ranked Georgia to assert itself against third-ranked TCU and make a mark in the College Football Playoff record book.
The Bulldogs’ 17 points in the first quarter were the most to open a title game in the nine years since the four-team playoff came into existence.
Georgia had 164 yards of total offense in the quarter, averaging 11.6 yards per play. Quarterback Stetson Bennett was seven of eight passing for 111 yards and a touchdown, with wide receiver Ladd McConkey making four catches for 74 yards, including a 37-yard scoring grab.
Bennett opened the game with a 21-yard touchdown rush and had a 6-yard scoring run midway through the second quarter, joining an unlikely collection of quarterbacks with multiple scoring runs in the BCS or CFP title game.
Craig Krenzel had two in Ohio State’s win over Miami in the 2003 Fiesta Bowl and Vince Young had three to help Texas defeat Southern California in the legendary 2006 Rose Bowl.
The Bulldogs led 38-7 at halftime, topping the 35 points scored in the first half by Alabama against the Buckeyes in 2021.
NO MILLER
TCU’s Emari Demercado, who grew up within walking distance of SoFi Stadium, got the start at running back after Kendre Miller was ruled out.
Miller suffered a sprained MCL to his right knee late in the first half of the Horned Frogs’ CFP semifinal victory over Michigan. He went through pregame warmups with a bulky brace on his right knee, but did not appear to be running normally.
Demercado — who rushed for a career-high 150 yards against Michigan — got his first carry on TCU’s third series. He had three carries for 13 yards on the drive, which ended in a 2 yard keeper by quarterback Max Duggan to get the Horned Frogs within 10-7 in the first quarter.
The 5-foot-11, 210-pound senior had a career-high 622 rushing yards and six touchdowns this season while averaging 5.8 yards per carry.

The No. 5-seeded Sabalenka, who began the year by winning the title in Adelaide, trailed the American 3-1 early in the match but won five straight games to take the opening set and then eased through the second.
“I expected a great level from her today, that’s why I stayed focused from the beginning to the end,” Sabalenka said.
Sabalenka will play either Elise Mertens, the No. 26-seeded player, or Lauren Davis in the third round.

No. 9-seeded Veronika Kudermetova was upset, ousted 6-4, 2-6, 6-2 by Katie Volnyets, a 21-year-old qualifier from the United States.
“I literally have the chills because the fans here are just incredible,” said Volnyets, who is through to the third round of a Grand Slam event for the first time. “I’ve never played in a stadium this packed and with that many people keeping the energy up for me. It was awesome.”
Taylor Townsend bowed out, the American beaten 1-6, 6-2, 6-3 by No. 19 Ekaterina Alexandrova.
On the men's side, No 25-seeded Dan Evans was an early winner, beating Jeremy Chardy of France 6-4, 6-4, 6-1 to reach the third round for the third successive year.

Fire department upgrades could save homeowners money
PARAGOULD, Ark. (KAIT) - Major upgrades coming to one fire department are going to put more money back in the pockets of residents.
In an announcement at the Paragould State of the City address, the fire department said they would build a much-needed state-of-the-art training facility.
In a process that has been months in the making, Paragould Mayor Josh Agee and Fire Chief Kyle Jackson traveled around the state to see what upgrades they needed.
“They have toured fire training facilities all across the state and they have picked the best of all of them,” Agee said.
The department responded to 3,562 calls in 2022, one of their highest totals, and said this would prepare their employees for anything. He added that people around Paragould would also benefit from the space.
“This is going to be good for industry mainly because you will see a benefit to your insurance rates but that will make us one of fifteen class one cities in the state of Arkansas,” Jackson said.
An ISO fire rating is a score provided to fire departments and insurance companies by the Insurance Services Office. When the ISO rating falls, it could decrease home insurance premiums which thrills Mayor Agee.
“Dropping that ISO to a one and being one of those fifteen cities in the state to have that ISO rating to one especially with a part time department that is an exciting proposition,” Agee said.
The department sent out bids Thursday for the facility.

Texas sued Facebook parent company Meta for exploiting the biometric data of millions of people in the state — including those who used the platform and those who did not. The company, according to a suit filed by state Attorney General Ken Paxton, violated state privacy laws and should be responsible for billions of dollars in damages.
The suit involves Facebook's "tag suggestions" feature, which the company ended last year, that used facial recognition to encourage users to link the photo to a friend's profile.
Paxton alleged the company collected facial recognition data without their consent, shared it with third parties, and did not destroy the information in a timely manner — all in violation of state law.
"The scope of Facebook's misconduct is staggering," the complaint reads. "Facebook repeatedly captured Texans' biometric identifiers without their consent not hundreds, or thousands, or millions of times — but billions of times, all in violation of CUBI and the DTPA."
Paxton said at a news conference outside of the Harrison County Courthouse on Monday that the fine for each violation of the Capture or Use of Biometric Identifier Act and the Deceptive Trade Practices Act is $25,000.
A Meta spokesperson told NPR "these claims are without merit and we will defend ourselves vigorously." The company shut down its facial recognition feature in November after a decade in operation. In a blog post announcing the decision, Jerome Pesenti, vice president of Artificial Intelligence, wrote that Facebook needed "to weigh the positive use cases for facial recognition against growing societal concerns, especially as regulators have yet to provide clear rules."
The company also said then it would delete the data it held on more than 1 billion users.
Last year, Facebook settled a class action suit brought by users who said their data had been used without their consent for $650 million.
Texas filed suit on Monday in a state district court in the small city of Marshall. It's unclear why the attorney general's office selected that specific jurisdiction. The state hired two outside law firms to argue the case.
"Facebook will no longer take advantage of people and their children with the intent to turn a profit at the expense of one's safety and well-being," Paxton said in a statement announcing the lawsuit. "This is yet another example of Big Tech's deceitful business practices and it must stop."
The Electronic Privacy Information Center applauded the lawsuit. "A lot of the action around protecting biometric privacy has been centered in places like Illinois and California, but this case shows that other states are starting to take the issue seriously," John Davisson, the center's director of litigation and senior counsel, told NPR.
"If the case succeeds, it could mean a major financial award for Texas," he added, "which the state should put toward protecting privacy and compensating Texans who were caught up in Facebook's facial recognition system."

FRISCO, Texas (KXAN) — A high school in Texas was forced to end its school year two days early after an approved senior prank “devolved rapidly” caused thousands of dollars in damages to the building.
Wednesday evening’s incident occurred at Memorial High School, in the Frisco Independent School District.
In a letter to parents and staff, the school explained that a group of students had been approved to put sticky notes on the walls around the building as part of a prank. Staff members were at the school to monitor the students, “but the situation devolved rapidly,” the school said. Both the Frisco Police and Fire Departments got involved.
The school estimates damage to the building “in the thousands of dollars.” The walls were stained with paint, furniture was destroyed, and fire extinguishers were discharged throughout the building, among other damage and vandalism, the school said.
“Every surface on the 300,000 sq. ft. campus must be cleaned, including the walls, ceilings and floors,” a letter to parents read.
The school said police and the district are working to identify the students involved in the vandalism, and the district “intends to prosecute those responsible to the fullest extent of the law.” The students are also expected to cover cleanup costs.
Because of the damage to the building and the air quality inside, the school shut down Thursday and Friday, parents were informed. Friday was the last day of school for the entire district, meaning this closure effectively ended the school year early for just the high school, the Frisco Independent School District said.
Both Thursday and Friday were half-days for high school students. Memorial High students will not be making those days up.
In its letter to parents, the school said students and staff will be able to pick up personal belongings at a later date.
One of the letters that school administrators sent to parents on Thursday can be read below, in full:
Students, parents, and staff,
First, thank you to all who have reached out and volunteered to help with the campus cleanup. We appreciate your support and understanding as we work through this incident. I want to take a moment to send an update about the situation that occurred on our campus last night. Frisco ISD is working with the Frisco Police Department to investigate the parties involved in the vandalism.
A group of students from Memorial High School was approved to use “post-it” notes on the walls to decorate and place messages around the campus as part of their senior prank last night. Staff members were on site to monitor students but the situation devolved rapidly, and the Frisco Police and Fire Departments became involved. A small group of those students vandalized the campus to a point that classes are not able to be held at MHS for the remainder of the week.
I want to make it clear that campus and District staff are working with police to identify all individuals involved in the vandalism. Disciplinary measures will be enforced and Frisco ISD intends to prosecute those responsible to the fullest extent of the law.
Damage is estimated in the thousands of dollars and includes paint on the walls, destruction of furniture, discharged fire extinguishers throughout campus and more. Every surface on the 300,000 sq. ft. campus must be cleaned, including the walls, ceilings and floors. Frisco ISD will hold the students responsible for costs associated with the clean up.
We are currently determining a plan for parents, students and staff to pick up personal belongings that are still at the campus. We will send a communication about times and dates for pick up sometime next week.
Sincerely,
MHS Administration

WASHINGTON (AP) — When Elise Joshi was at the White House last year, her eyes welled with happy tears as President Joe Biden hosted thousands of supporters to celebrate groundbreaking legislation targeting climate change.
“In that moment, I felt a lot of hope that the administration was listening to us,” said Joshi, a California college student who is a leader of Gen-Z for Change, a coalition of young activists on social media.
Now Joshi is planning to return to Washington, but for a very different reason. She’s outraged that administration officials approved the Willow project, a large-scale oil drilling proposal in Alaska, and she’s organizing demonstrations with compatriots from around the country.
Joshi’s pivot underscores the political fallout that Biden is facing over Willow and the tension between honoring his promises on climate change and the nation’s energy needs.
The president made fighting global warming a central part of his agenda, and White House officials are quick to defend efforts to put the United States on track for steep emissions reductions in the coming years.
But the decision on Willow has alienated supporters, particularly young activists predisposed to skepticism about compromise and incrementalism, at the same time Biden is planning to announce his campaign for reelection.
“There is disappointment. There is anger. There is frustration,” said Lori Lodes, the executive director of Climate Power, an environmental advocacy group aligned with the administration.
But, she added, “what’s happened on climate in the past year is nothing short of revolutionary,” including hundreds of billions of financial incentives for clean energy in last year’s legislation, and Republicans have refused to confront the problem of global warming.
When it comes to the 2024 election, “I don’t really think there’s a choice,” Lodes said. “If you care about the climate, there’s not a choice.”
White House officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations, acknowledged the indignation over Willow, which became a focal point for activism in recent weeks. They emphasized that ConocoPhillips has held leases in that area of Alaska for decades, strengthening the company’s legal right to drill.
“The president kept his word where he can by law,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Thursday, adding that Biden “has done more on climate change than any other president in history.” Environmental groups already have sued in a renewed effort to block Willow.
Regulators focused on paring down the project’s footprint during the approval process. The final decision includes three drill sites, down from the originally proposed five, and the company relinquished about 68,000 acres of other leases as part of the deal.
Administration officials also paired the announcement with a conservation plan that bars drilling in 3 million acres of the Arctic Ocean and seeks new rules on 13 million acres of Alaska land.
While the White House said the legal issues largely drove the Willow decision, there were other factors at work.
Gas prices spiked after Russia invaded Ukraine, a reminder of how global energy markets can become weaponized in times of conflict. Biden responded by urging companies to produce more oil in the United States. Willow could generate 180,000 barrels a day once it becomes operational in the coming years.
More pressure came from the Alaska congressional delegation, which includes two Republican senators and one Democratic representative. Sen. Dan Sullivan told Fox News that he pressed Biden on how he could justify blocking Willow when the administration also lifted sanctions to allow oil imports from Venezuela, which Sullivan called “one of the most polluting places to produce oil anywhere in the world.”
“They never have an answer to that question,” he said. “I think that was part of the calculus here.”
White House officials said the Willow project won’t prevent the U.S. from meeting Biden’s ambitious goal for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and a recent government study said the country will be able to produce 80% of its electricity without fossil fuels by 2030.
But there’s been outrage on social media, sometimes drowning out the administration’s own message.
Interior Secretary Deb Haaland’s video explaining the Willow decision was viewed more than 100,000 times on Twitter as of Thursday afternoon.
But Joshi’s post on TikTok, which described Biden as having “just slapped young people in the face,” was viewed more than 860,000 times.
A TikTok video by environmentalist Alex Haraus was viewed more than 270,000 times.
“What the hell man?” he said, directly addressing Biden. “You approved Willow. The one thing that millions of people wrote in asking you not to do over the last three weeks?”
Near the end, Haraus said, “The youth vote is not a given if they keep doing things like this.”
Christy Goldfuss, the chief policy impact officer at the Natural Resources Defense Council, said the problem for Biden is that other efforts to reduce emissions, such as raising vehicle mileage standards, have not received the same attention as Willow.
“We’ve seen time and time again that the public has not absorbed the enormity of what Biden has done on climate so far,” she said. “This is a very high profile project, and he is suffering from a lack of enthusiasm. If he indeed announces that he’s going to run for reelection, that enthusiasm is the foundation for the energy that he needs to win.”
Since taking office, Biden canceled a permit for the Keystone XL crude oil pipeline, effectively ending the project, and he has placed more land off-limits to development.
Abigail Dillen, president of Earthjustice, said some environmentalists were already frustrated by Biden’s decisions to allow other oil projects, such as the Dakota Access Pipeline and the Line 3 project in the Upper Midwest.
“These are open wounds, and (Willow’s approval) just adds to it,” she said.
A majority of Democratic voters in the 2022 election across age groups said they were “very” concerned about the effects of climate change on their communities, according to AP VoteCast, a sweeping survey of the midterm electorate.
In an Associated Press-NORC poll from February, most Democrats said they approved of the way Biden is handling his job as president in general and how he’s handling climate change specifically. But the youngest Democrats, ages 18 through 34, were less favorable on both marks.
White House officials said there’s inevitable friction with activists, who always push for more urgent measures. But they said the goal was to keep the largest tent possible when it comes to climate change, including labor unions, environmental groups and others key players.
Biden has not spoken publicly about the Willow decision, which was announced as Washington was racing to prevent a nationwide financial crisis after the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank.
He sat down last week with Kal Penn, an actor who worked in the White House under President Barack Obama, for an interview that aired on Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show.”
Penn noted that with Biden responsible for screening oil projects, then “what would you say to those young people who want you to continue to be their champion but might not think that you’re going far enough or fast enough on climate?”
Biden said “it’s a matter of transitioning, but it’s not like you can cut everything off immediately.”
Penn responded by saying “you obviously understand the existential threat that young people feel when it comes to climate.”
The interview aired on Monday night, several hours after the Willow decision was announced. Penn revisited the topic in his show on Tuesday night, playing a clip of Biden’s campaign promise of “no more drilling on federal lands, period — period, period period.”
Penn amended Biden’s promise — “period, period, period, comma” — as he talked about the drilling project, and the audience booed.
Biden will have another chance to make the case for his record when he hosts a conservation summit at the Interior Department on Tuesday.
Outside the building will be activists demanding that he stop Willow.
“I did not think this is how these events would unfold,” Joshi said. “It’s a little sad.”

Buffalo Bills defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier is taking a year off from coaching but plans to return for the 2024 season, the team announced Tuesday.
The team did not provide any other details on Frazier’s decision, which comes a little over five weeks after the three-time AFC East champion Bills were eliminated with a 27-10 loss to Cincinnati in the divisional round of the playoffs.
The Bills have not said who will fill in for Frazier this season, though the team has hired Al Holcomb to serve as a senior defensive assistant. Holcomb finished last season as the Carolina Panthers' defensive coordinator under interim coach Steve Wilks after Matt Rhule was fired.
Coach Sean McDermott was scheduled to speak later Tuesday at the NFL combine in Indianapolis.
Holcomb has ties with McDermott from their days working together at Carolina. Holcomb coached linebackers during McDermott’s final four seasons as the Panthers' defensive coordinator before he was hired by Buffalo in 2017.
Frazier’s decision comes after an emotionally draining season, which included safety Damar Hamlin going into cardiac arrest and having to be resuscitated on the field during a game in Cincinnati on Jan. 2. The Bills also had their schedule disrupted by two major snowstorms.
The 63-year-old Frazier has spent the past six seasons as the Bills' defensive coordinator, and he was among the first coaches hired by McDermott upon taking over in Buffalo. Frazier was considered McDermott’s most trusted adviser.
He has 24 seasons of NFL coaching experience, including a three-plus-year stint as head coach of the Minnesota Vikings from 2010 to 2013.
Last year, Frazier oversaw a Bills' defense that overcame a series of injuries to finish ranked sixth in the NFL in fewest yards allowed and second in points allowed. Over his six years in Buffalo, the Bills' defense finished ranked third or better in fewest yards allowed three times, including first in 2021.
Frazier is a former cornerback, who spent five seasons in the NFL and was a member of the 1985 Super Bowl-winning Chicago Bears' famed Buddy Ryan defense, which is considered one of the best in league history.
Frazier broke into coaching in 1988 as head coach of NAIA Trinity College. In December, he was named a member of the Class of 2023 for the Black College Football Hall of Fame. He will be honored during a ceremony in June.

Christmas Island red crab migration underway
The red crab migration is the island's biggest tourist attraction
Red crab migration season has begun on Australia's Christmas Island.
In footage filmed by David Watchorn this past weekend, the crustaceans scuttle over roadways and infrastructure.
According to Parks Australia, every year millions of the large crabs emerge from the forest heading to the water to breed. The migration starts with the first rainfall of the wet season.
While that's usually in October or November, it can sometimes be as late as January.

The exact timing and the speed of the migration are determined by the phase of the moon.
Male crabs that lead the migration are later joined by females.
If it begins to rain too late to make their spawning date, some crabs will migrate the following month.
Once at the shore, the crabs take a dip to replenish moisture before the male crabs retreat to the lower terraces of the island to dig burrows.

The female crabs then join the males on the terraces to mate in or near the burrows.
Each female crab, which remains in the burrow for over two weeks, can produce up to 100,000 eggs.
Male crabs will take a second dip before starting the journey back home.
When the moon reaches its last quarter, the crabs gather on the shoreline, releasing their eggs in the water.

BRUSSELS (AP) — NATO defense ministers gathered Thursday for talks focusing on bolstering forces and deterrence along the military alliance’s eastern borders to dissuade Russia from planning further aggression.
The war by the Kremlin in Ukraine since February has led allies to rethink strategies and to agree that NATO forces should be present in greater numbers on that flank. They have already beefed up the deployment of troops and material and want to guarantee a long-term presence of forces.
In response to the invasion of Ukraine, NATO says it has placed over 40,000 troops under its direct command, mainly on the eastern flank.
NATO secretary general Jens Stoltenberg said allies will take decisions on the scale of their posture for the the longer term “to ensure that we can defend every inch of Allied territory.”
The meeting of defense ministers came ahead of a June 29-30 NATO summit in Madrid that will seek to set a determined course for the alliance in coming years.
Germany has already announced its plans to strengthen its engagement in Lithuania, while France wants to increase its presence in Romania, where it plans to have deployed 1,000 troops reinforced with Leclerc tanks by the end of the year.
Artis Pabriks, the Latvian defense minister, said the military alliance should position larger armed forces and material in Baltic countries.
“We want an improved planning, we want a headquarters structure, we want pre-positioning of different types of equipment, so if a crisis would come we should not wait,” he said.
Discussions in Brussels will also focus on the need for more defense spending, Stoltenberg said, with the bids from Sweden and Finland to join the alliance also on the table.
Stoltenberg saluted the United States’ decision to send an additional $1 billion in military aid to Ukraine and said NATO allies are “prepared to continue to provide substantial, unprecedented support” to the country.
The latest package, the U.S. said, includes anti-ship missile launchers, howitzers and more rounds for the High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems that U.S. forces are training Ukrainian troops on now. All are key weapons systems that Ukrainian leaders have urgently requested as they battle to stall Russia’s slow but steady march to conquer the eastern Donbas region.
Speaking alongside Stoltenberg, U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin praised the “historic decision” by Finland and Sweden to apply for NATO membership, expressing his hopes that discussions will continue to progress favorably.
Turkey has clearly voiced its opposition to the Nordic pair’s NATO accession and Stoltenberg has been working hard to try to break the deadlock. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan insists Finland and Sweden must show more respect for Turkish sensitivities about terrorism. He is refusing to budge over what he says is their alleged support for Kurdish militants.

Asian stocks follow Wall St up on hopes of rate hikes easing
BEIJING (AP) — Asian stock markets followed Wall Street higher on Wednesday as hopes rose that the Federal Reserve might ease off plans for interest rate hikes and Britain installed its third prime minister this year.
Shanghai, Tokyo, Hong Kong and Sydney gained. Oil prices declined.
Wall Street’s benchmark S&P 500 index rose for a third day after bond prices rose, suggesting some investors expect the Fed to ease off rate hikes as economic activity cools.
Traders see weaker U.S. housing prices and other data as support for a “dial back” of Fed plans at its December meeting, said Vishnu Varathan of Mizuho Bank in a report.
The new British prime minister, Rishi Sunak, warned Tuesday of a “profound economic crisis,” but his arrival appeared to reassure rattled markets. The battered pound edged higher against the U.S. dollar.
The Shanghai Composite Index rose 1.4% to 3,018.59.
The Nikkei 225 in Tokyo jumped 2.4% to 15,531.83 ahead of the expected release of a stimulus package this week that reportedly could exceed 20 trillion yen ($140 billion).
The Hang Seng in Hong Kong advanced 1.1% to 27,558.75.
Sydney’s S&P-ASX 200 rose 0.1% to 6,807 after the government reported Australian inflation rose to 7.3% in the three months ending in September.
The Kospi in Seoul added 0.9% to 2,255.48. New Zealand and Southeast Asian markets rose.
On Wall Street, the S&P 500 gained 1.6% 3,859.11. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 1.1% to 31,836.74. The Nasdaq advanced 2.3% to 11,199.12.
Tech stocks, retailers and communication companies were among the biggest drivers.
Investors are looking at corporate results to see how inflation that is at multidecade highs is affecting consumer spending.
General Motors rose 3.6% after delivering solid results. United Parcel Service slipped 0.3% after the package delivery service beat earnings and revenue forecasts.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury, which influences mortgage rates, slipped to 4.09% from 4.23% late Monday. The yield on the two-year Treasury, which tracks Federal Reserve action, fell to 4.45% from 4.50% late Monday.
The Federal Reserve and central banks around the world have been raising interest rates to slow economic growth and reduce pressure for prices to rise. Investors worry that might tip the global economy into recession.
Traders have become more confident the Fed will reduce its rate hike plans from three-quarters to half a percentage point at its December meeting, according to CME Group.
The U.S. economy is already slowing down and actually contracted during the first half the year. The government will release its third-quarter gross domestic product report on Thursday.
In energy markets, benchmark U.S. crude lost 41 cents to $84.91 per barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract rose 74 cents to $85.32 on Tuesday. Brent crude, the price basis for international oil trading, shed 58 cents to $91.16 per barrel in London. It gained 26 cents the previous session to $93.52.
The dollar gained to 148.25 yen from Tuesday’s 147.97 yen. The euro declined to 99.58 cents from 99.66 cents.

The husband of a Massachusetts woman who has been missing since New Year’s Day went online to look up ways to dismember and dispose of a body, and items belonging to the woman with her DNA were found at a trash processing facility, a prosecutor said at his arraignment Wednesday on murder and other charges.
Not guilty pleas were entered on behalf of Brian Walshe, 47, and he was held without bail in Quincy District Court. Dressed in a gray sweater and beige pants, he stood expressionless as the prosecutor laid out the state’s case and did not speak except to say “I do,” when asked by the judge if he understood the charges.
His attorney, Tracy Miner, did not contest bail but in the past has said her client has cooperated with investigators.
She said in a statement that “I intend to win this case in court.”
“I am not going to comment on the evidence, first because I am going to try this case in the court and not in the media,” Miner said in a statement. “Second, because I haven’t been provided with any evidence by the prosecution. In my experience, where, as here, the prosecution leaks so-called evidence to the press before they provide it to me, their case isn’t that strong.”
Walshe was already in custody on $500,000 bail after pleading not guilty earlier this month to misleading investigators searching for Ana Walshe, 39, whose body has not been found.
The couple, who have three young children who are now in state custody, lived in the affluent coastal community of Cohasset, about 15 miles (24 kilometers) southeast of Boston.
Starting Jan. 1 and for several days after, Brian Walshe made multiple online searches using an iPad belonging to one of his sons using terms such as “dismemberment and best ways to dispose of a body,” “how long before a body starts to smell,” and “hacksaw best tool to dismember,” prosecutor Lynn Beland said in court.
Investigators also found Jan. 3 surveillance video of man resembling Brian Walshe throwing what appeared to be heavy trash bags into a dumpster at an apartment complex in Abington, which is not far from Cohasset.
“Surveillance shows the defendant’s Volvo, as well as a man fitting the defendant’s appearance, exit the car near the dumpster,” Beland said. “He walks to the dumpster carrying a garbage bag. He’s leaning, and it appears to be heavy, as he has to heft it into the dumpster.”
Police tried to locate those bags but they had already been taken away and incinerated, Beland said.
When police went to the family’s home Jan. 4 to perform a well-being check when it was still considered a missing person case, they noted the car had its seats folded down and a plastic liner in the back. Chemists later found the presence of blood in the car, Beland said.
During a Jan. 8 search of a trash processing facility in Peabody, north of Boston and not far from Brian Walshe’s mother’s home, investigators found trash bags that contained a hatchet, a hacksaw, towels and a protective Tyvek suit, cleaning agents, a Prada purse, boots similar to the ones Ana Walshe was last seen wearing, and a COVID-19 vaccination card with her name, Beland said.
Some items had what appeared to human blood on them and testing determined that both Ana and Brian Walshe were “contributors” to the DNA on them, she said.
Ana Walshe was reportedly last seen leaving their home in the early morning hours of Jan. 1, purportedly to take a ride-hailing vehicle to Logan International Airport for a flight to Washington, authorities said. But police have found no indication that she either took a vehicle or boarded any flight out of Logan.
She was reported missing Jan. 4 by her employer in Washington, where the couple has a home and to which she often commutes during the week for work at a real estate company, authorities said.
Authorities have searched the family’s home, a wooded area near the home, the trash processing facility in Peabody north of Boston, and a condo complex where Brian Walshe’s mother lives. Authorities previously said knives and blood were found in the family home’s basement.
Authorities have also previously said Brian Walshe was spotted on surveillance video buying hundreds of dollars worth of cleaning supplies at a home improvement store.
Brian Walshe had been on home confinement with some exceptions while awaiting sentencing in a fraud case involving the sale of fake Andy Warhol paintings, according to federal court records. Police have said Ana Walshe’s disappearance and her husband’s case appear to be unrelated.
The mother of Ana Walshe, who is originally from Serbia, told Belgrade’s Kurir daily prior to Wednesday’s arraignment that she does not believe her son-in-law harmed her daughter.
“My son-in-law would not do anything to harm my Ana, and I do not believe any of the statements that have so far been related to the possibility that Brian harmed her,” Milanka Ljubičić said.
“He assured me that Ana is fine and alive and I believe him. I am shocked by the new details that she was allegedly killed because I still hope that she is alive and well.”

NEW YORK, Nov. 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --
WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, continues its investigation of potential securities claims on behalf of shareholders of Gaia, Inc. (NASDAQ: GAIA) resulting from allegations that Gaia may have issued materially misleading business information to the investing public.
SO WHAT: If you purchased Gaia securities you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement. The Rosen Law Firm is preparing a class action seeking recovery of investor losses.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the prospective class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=9917 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.
WHAT IS THIS ABOUT: On November 7, 2022, Gaia revealed "an investigation by the staff of the Denver Regional Office (the 'Staff') of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the 'SEC')" which began in June 2020. According to the Company, "[i]n September 2022, Gaia and Gaia's Chief Financial Officer ('CFO') reached an agreement in principle with the Staff on a framework for a complete resolution of the investigation." Further, according to the Company, "[t]he agreement in principle contemplates that Gaia would consent, without admitting or denying any findings, to the entry of an administrative order: (1) finding that Gaia (a) misstated in its April 29, 2019 earnings release and earnings call the number of paying subscribers for the period ending March 31, 2019, … and (b) failed to comply with SEC whistleblower protection requirements with respect to the termination of one employee and the language used in severance agreements for other employees; and (2) requiring Gaia to pay a total civil monetary penalty of $2,000[,000] over a one-year period for these violations. At the same time, the CFO would consent, without admitting or denying any findings, to the entry of an administrative order: (1) finding that the CFO caused Gaia's misstatements in the April 29, 2019 earnings release and earnings call that is described above; and (2) requiring the CFO to pay a civil monetary penalty of $50[,000]." Gaia also stated "[t]here can be no assurance that the contemplated settlement will be finalized and approved."
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

The Northern Lights may be visible in the mainland U.S. this week due to a strong geomagnetic storm, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
The phenomenon, known scientifically as the aurora borealis, typically occurs closer to the North Pole, near Alaska and Canada.
But the storm could push the aurora lights farther south Thursday and Friday, and if weather conditions permit, could be seen in regions of Pennsylvania, Iowa and Oregon.
What happens during a geomagnetic storm?
During the storm, a coronal hole (the spots that appear black on the Sun) prompts high winds, which in turn, trigger coronal mass ejections, or CMEs. A CME projects plasma and pieces of the Sun's magnetic field into the atmosphere.
The storm started Sunday and is expected to peak Thursday to a G3 level — G5 is the highest measurement of the storm's intensity — and end Friday.
While multiple CMEs have been ejected from the Sun, "most are expected to have little to no impact at Earth, however, at least four have potential Earth-directed components," the NOAA said.
What is an aurora?
The Sun's activity is volatile, and in some cases, the disturbances are so strong they can pull the Earth's magnetic field away from our planet.
But, like a taut rubber band when it's released, the magnetic field snaps back, and the force of that recoil creates powerful ripples known as Alfvén waves about 80,000 miles from the ground. As those waves get closer to Earth, they move faster thanks to the planet's magnetic pull.
Sometimes electrons hitch a ride on these superfast Alfvén waves, reaching speeds as high as 45 million miles per hour as they hurtle downward.
"Think about surfing," said Jim Schroeder, an assistant physics professor at Wheaton College who has led research on the process. "In order to surf, you need to paddle up to the right speed for an ocean wave to pick you up and accelerate you, and we found that electrons were surfing. If they were moving with the right speed relative to the wave, they would get picked up and accelerated.
When the electrons reach Earth's thin upper atmosphere, they collide with nitrogen and oxygen molecules, sending them into an excited state. The excited electrons eventually calm down and release light, which is what we see as the aurora.
How to view the aurora
You don't need any special equipment to see auroras.

DUBLIN, July 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Endo International plc (NASDAQ: ENDP) announced today that a federal jury in Chicago, Illinois, has returned a verdict in favor of the Company's subsidiaries Endo Pharmaceuticals Inc. and Endo Health Solutions Inc. (collectively Endo), in an antitrust trial.
As Endo previously disclosed, it has been involved since 2014 in various legal proceedings filed by multiple plaintiffs, including classes of direct and indirect purchasers, which have been consolidated in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois under the caption In re Opana® ER Antitrust Litigation. Plaintiffs in the cases alleged, among other things, that the terms of a 2010 patent settlement agreement between Endo and Impax Laboratories, Inc. (now Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc.) (Impax) violated the antitrust laws. A trial of all plaintiffs' claims began in June and concluded today with a verdict in favor of Endo on all counts.
"Endo is very pleased with the jury's verdict and is grateful for its careful deliberation," said Matthew J. Maletta, Endo's Executive Vice President, Chief Legal Officer and Company Secretary. "Today's verdict confirms that the 2010 settlement agreement between Endo and Impax was procompetitive and enabled Impax to come to market with its generic version of Opana® ER years earlier than otherwise would have been permitted."

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Kansas City officials have approved a new ordinance that clarifies when people may witness or record police officers' actions without being arrested.
The Kansas City Council on Thursday approved the ordinance to settle a federal lawsuit filed by three women who were arrested during racial injustice protests in the city in 2020.
The women were charged with violating city laws involving resisting or interfering with an officer. The lawsuit said those laws were unconstitutionally vague and overly broad, KCUR reported.
The ordinance approved Thursday says witnessing or recording police officers does not violate city law unless the offender is substantially impeding the officer’s duties.
The women were among more than 200 nonviolent protesters arrested at or near the Country Club Plaza during protests after the death in Minneapolis of George Floyd.
The settlement did not require the city to pay any monetary damages.

San Francisco supervisors vote to allow non-profits to operate supervised drug injection sites
By Taylor Romine, CNN
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors unanimously approved legislation allowing non-profits to open and operate overdose prevention sites with private funding, Mayor London Breed announced in a news release.
The legislation removed “a recently identified permitting barrier” included in legislation from 2020 that did not allow overdose prevention programs to open until the state authorized the city to do so, regardless of if they were publicly or privately funded, the release said.
“This legislation is part of our work to bring down the number of fatal overdoses and tackle the challenges driven by fentanyl head on,” Breed said. “We will continue to work with our non-profits partners who are trying to open overdose prevention sites, fully implement our health strategies to help those struggling with addiction in our streets, and work with law enforcement to close the open-air drug markets.”
San Francisco recorded 620 drug overdose deaths in 2022, 640 in 2021 and 725 in 2020, according to preliminary data from San Francisco’s Office of the Chief Medical Examiner and presented by the mayor’s office.
Federal and California state laws currently bar so-called supervised injection sites from using government funds to operate. San Francisco’s 2020 ordinance would allow them to operate but only with state approval which was tied to a bill that died in a State assembly committee that summer. The new ordinance will allow non-profits to move forward with the program by operating on private funds “while the City waits for federal guidance on whether it can fund such programs with public dollars,” according to the news release.
Overdose prevention sites allow users to bring previously obtained drugs, such as heroin and fentanyl, and use them under the supervision of staff trained to respond in the event of an overdose or other medical emergency. They also provide counseling and referrals to other social and health services. Opponents, however, are concerned such sites would promote and normalize drug use and attract crime.
California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom vetoed a bill last year that would have created such sites in San Francisco, Los Angeles and Oakland. While recognizing the possible benefits of the program, he warned that a strong plan was needed to avoid “unintended consequences.”
New York became the first state to establish overdose prevention sites in 2021, which are operated by non-profits without public funding and which acted as a model for San Francisco’s ordinance, the release said.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — A hard-line newspaper close to Iran’s ruling clerics on Wednesday suggested authorities close the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial waterway for global energy supplies, in response to alleged foreign support for the nationwide protests gripping the country.
“Closing the Strait of Hormuz to Western countries’ oil tankers and commercial vessels is Iran’s legal right,” Hossein Shariatmadari wrote. “We can even seize a part of their commercial cargo as compensation for the financial damage they have done to our country.”
It’s not the first time Shariatmadari has proposed closing the strait, through which around one third of all oil traded by sea passes.
The narrow waterway at the mouth of the Persian Gulf has seen a number of tense encounters over the years. Any attempt to close it would risk a major confrontation with the United States, which has pledged to ensure the free flow of commerce, and could roil international oil markets.
The protests erupted in September following the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, who had been detained by Iran’s morality police for allegedly violating strict dress codes for women. The demonstrations rapidly spread across the country and mark one of the biggest challenges to Iran’s theocracy since the 1979 revolution that brought it to power.
Iran has blamed the protests, and attacks on security forces, on foreign countries, without providing evidence. The protesters deny any foreign agenda and say they are fed up after decades of social and political repression by leaders they view as corrupt and out of touch.
Security forces have cracked down on the demonstrations, with rights groups accusing them of firing live ammunition, bird shot and tear gas at protesters, as well as beating and arresting them.
At least 494 protesters have been killed since September and more than 18,000 have been arrested, according to Human Rights Activists in Iran, a group that has been closely monitoring the unrest. It says at least 62 security forces have been killed. Iranian authorities have given a far higher death toll for security personnel, blaming attacks on unnamed separatists and militants.
Iran has executed two people convicted of violent crimes linked to the protests. One of them was publicly hanged from a crane earlier this week in a warning to others.
The Supreme Court on Wednesday halted the execution of a third individual, Mahan Sedarat, according to Mizan, the official news agency of the judiciary.
Earlier this month, Sedarat’s family told the reformist newspaper Shargh that his death sentence had been confirmed. He was accused of wounding someone with a knife, acting against national security, setting a motorbike on fire and destroying a mobile phone. His family said he denied the charges.
Like the other two, he was convicted of “moharebeh,” a Farsi word meaning “waging war against God,” which carries the death penalty. He was tried in Revolutionary Court, which typically holds closed-door trials and has come under heavy international criticism.

The Biden administration is seizing on huge earnings calls from oil companies as it seeks to give voters a response to relatively high gasoline prices ahead of next week’s midterms.
President Biden has repeatedly sought to place blame on the industry for the high prices, but has ramped up its rhetoric in the wake of massive earnings.
And while analysts say that large parts of the price are set by the global oil market, not by individual companies, the optics of massive profits while Americans struggle with inflation gives the administration something to cling to.
In total, seven of the largest oil and gas companies combined raked in nearly $70 billion in third-quarter profits, according to recent earnings reports.
“If these companies were taking average profits on refining, instead of the profits they’re making today, gas prices would come down around 50 cents,” Biden tweeted Tuesday.
BP on Tuesday reported $8.2 billion in third-quarter profits, up from $3.3 billion during the same period last year. The British oil giant announced it would boost its stock buybacks to a total of $8.5 billion this year and pay around $800 million in new windfall taxes enacted by the U.K.
Last week, ExxonMobil reported a record $19.7 billion in quarterly earnings, while Chevron and Shell also posted big numbers — $11.2 billion and $9.5 billion, respectively.
Other energy titans reported huge earnings Tuesday. Marathon Petroleum posted a $4.5 billion profit, an increase of nearly 550 percent compared to last year’s third quarter. Phillips 66 reported $5.4 billion in third-quarter profits, a 1000 percent year-over-year increase.
Biden, during a speech on Monday, criticized the high earnings as a “windfall of war” citing the impact of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on driving up oil prices.
Since that conflict and other factors drove up oil and gasoline prices, companies have experienced a profit bonanza. The Biden administration has called on them to use that income to reinvest in new oil and gas production, in the hopes of getting lower prices for consumers.
National gas prices are sitting at about $3.76 on average, according to AAA. That’s down from the peak of more than $5 per gallon in June but up from $3.40 one year ago.
In his speech on Monday, Biden threatened a “higher tax on their excess profits” and unspecified “other restrictions” if the companies do not increase production.
“So far, American oil companies are using that windfall — the windfall of profits — to buy back their own stock, passing that money on to their shareholders, not to consumers,” he said.
While the windfall tax wouldn’t win enough GOP support to pass the 50-50 Senate — no Republicans voted for a recent House bill to investigate alleged price gouging by oil companies — Biden’s comments represent a significant messaging effort to draw attention to high profits.
“It’s important to take a stand like this, regardless, because the American people need to know that somebody is on their side of fighting for them and not just standing up for the oil company profits,” said Lori Lodes, executive director of Climate Power.
Democrats are struggling to craft a winning midterm message as voters increasingly cite inflation as their top issue ahead of abortion and other topics that gave Democrats a boost earlier this year. Prices rose 8.2 percent over the last year ending in September, driven by massive price hikes for gas, rent and food that are draining Americans’ paychecks.
Biden has repeatedly sought to put blame on the oil industry, and has called on companies to drill more.
Tom Kloza, global head of energy analysis at the Oil Price Information Service, said that oil producers have been “conservative” in their approach to new production, despite recent high prices, as there’s risk of fluctuation.
“Oil shale growth has not progressed on the path that a lot of people thought it would,” he said.
“I don’t think they’re breaking any laws, but almost every one of them has been very, very judicious, not wanting to go through another boom and bust period,” he added of industry.
Kloza said that industry — and he particularly discussed oil refiners — is benefiting from the current situation. But, he described it as similar to high profits made by various industries under capitalism, rather than something that’s unique to oil.
“Sometimes capitalism can have some real excesses in terms of what people make and what profits are rendered. That’s true probably for pharmaceutical companies. It was true in the old days with cigarettes and it’s true these days with fuel,” he said.
The industry, meanwhile, pushed back on the notion that they are responsible for the prices, and also warned that a higher tax would actually prevent companies from pumping more oil.
“Increasing taxes on American energy discourages investment in new production, which is the exact opposite of what we need to do,” Mike Sommers, CEO of the American Petroleum Institute, which represents BP, ExxonMobil and Chevron, told reporters Tuesday. “Oil companies do not set prices. Global commodity markets do.”
The lobbying group called on Congress and the Biden administration to streamline permitting for major energy projects and reinstate lease sales on federal lands to boost production.
Energy giants say they’re investing in new drilling facilities but acknowledge that they’ll only provide slightly more oil supply in the short term. Oil companies have been careful not to overinvest in new production over fears that a looming global recession would stifle demand.
Still, the industry predicts that prices won’t drop much this winter, dimming hopes of relief for cash-strapped consumers.
“Looking ahead to the fourth quarter, we expect gas prices to remain elevated and volatile, with the outlook heavily dependent on Russian pipeline flows and the severity of the Northern Hemisphere winter,” BP executive Murray Auchincloss said on an earnings call Tuesday.
The Biden administration has taken some steps in an effort to provide relief to consumers, including releasing barrels from the country’s strategic reserve this year, but there’s only so much they can do, since gasoline prices are largely based on a global oil market.
Biden also unsuccessfully lobbied the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries to stave off production cuts aimed at keeping global oil prices elevated.
With the midterms a week away, though, the issue is sure to be on voters’ minds.

BALTIMORE (AP) — Yes, Shane Bieber thought about a no-hitter as he shut down Baltimore into the middle innings.
“Oh, I think that from pitch one,” the Cleveland right-hander said. “Until I give one up. I think anybody that tells you otherwise is lying.”
Bieber held Baltimore without a hit until the sixth inning and Owen Miller drove in four runs in his first two plate appearances as the Guardians rolled to a 6-3 victory over the Orioles on Friday night.
Bieber (3-3) was more than halfway to Cleveland's first no-hitter since 1981, but the majors' longest active drought endured when Trey Mancini lined a two-out single to left field in the sixth. Bieber issued a walk in each of the first two innings, but Mancini had Baltimore's only hit until the right-hander gave up two more singles to start the eighth and was lifted.
Cleveland hasn't had a no-hitter since Len Barker threw a perfect game against Toronto on May 15, 1981.
Miller — batting one spot behind José Ramírez — hit a two-run double in the first inning and a two-run single in the third. Ramírez scored on both hits, coming all the way around from first on the latter after Cedric Mullins made a diving attempt in center field and the ball bounced away from him a bit.
Bieber struck out 11, although the two runners he left on base in the eighth scored when Mancini drove them in with a double. Anthony Santander followed with an RBI single to make it 6-3, but the Orioles got no closer.
Emmanuel Clase worked a perfect ninth for his eighth save in 10 chances.
Bruce Zimmermann (2-4) allowed five runs and 10 hits in 5 2/3 innings.
Ramírez, the clear standout in an otherwise ordinary Cleveland lineup, doubled in his first at-bat, leaving runners on second and third for Miller to drive in. In the third, Ramírez hit a one-out single, leaving men on first and third. When Mullins couldn’t come up with Miller’s sinking liner, Ramírez sprinted around the bases and scored on a close play at the plate.
Josh Naylor followed with an RBI single that made it 5-0. Naylor also had an RBI double in the seventh after Miller singled for his third hit.
The Guardians have won four in a row.
Bieber struck out the last hitter of the third and his first two of the fourth. Oscar Mercado then made a diving catch in right on Ryan Mountcastle's line drive. In the fifth, left fielder Ernie Clement made a nice running catch on Adley Rutschman's fly ball near the foul line to keep the no-hit bid going a little longer.
AGGRESSIVE
The Guardians swung at six of Zimmermann's first eight pitches and made contact on all of them. That included a solidly hit flyout by Myles Straw on the game's first pitch, then hits by Amed Rosario, Ramírez and Miller.
“We knew we needed to hit strikes, and he threw a bunch of strikes,” Guardians manager Terry Francona said. “We did a good job early. We ran the bases very well early — aggressive and intelligent.”
TRAINER'S ROOM
Guardians: Francona said RHP Aaron Civale (left glute tightness) is expected to throw a side session Saturday. RHP James Karinchak (right back strain) made his first rehab appearance for Triple-A Columbus on Wednesday. He's expected to pitch again Sunday.
Orioles: Baltimore put RHP Joey Krehbiel (right shoulder inflammation) on the 15-day injured list. The Orioles also recalled LHP Nick Vespi and INF Tyler Nevin from Triple-A Norfolk, put INF Chris Owings on the bereavement list and placed INF Jahmai Jones on unconditional release waivers.
UP NEXT
Triston McKenzie (3-4) takes the mound for Cleveland on Saturday against Baltimore's Tyler Wells (2-4). Wells is coming off a win at Boston in which he pitched six scoreless innings.

PITTSFORD, N.Y. (AP) — New York's love affair with Phil Mickelson still appears to run deep. No matter the part of the state. No matter what tour he calls home.
A year after the six-time major champion left the PGA Tour to become the de facto face of the Saudi-backed LIV Golf league — a move that kickstarted multiple lawsuits and a sometimes bitter war of words among the sport's biggest stars — Mickelson strolled around Oak Hill ahead of this week's PGA Championship as if nothing from his surprising triumph at Kiawah in 2021 has changed other than than perhaps his seemingly ever-shrinking waistline.
Wearing a hooded burgundy sweatshirt and his trademark aviator sunglasses, Mickelson made a leisurely tour of the front nine with fellow LIV competitors and PGA Tour defectors Dustin Johnson, Harold Varner III and Talor Gooch ahead of Thursday's opening round.
This is the state that serenaded him with “Happy Birthday” during the final round of the 2002 U.S. Open at Bethpage Black as he tried to chase down Tiger Woods for his first major; celebrated when he won his first PGA title at Baltusrol in 2005 — northern New Jersey essentially counts right? — and groaned when he double-bogeyed the 18th at Winged Foot to cost himself the 2006 U.S. Open.
The gallery drifted three-to-four deep around the tee boxes and greens, with various iterations of “Phil” and “Go Phil!" following Mickelson as he tried to get a gauge on a slightly revamped East Course that he's come to know pretty well over the last three decades.
There were hits and misses. An approach shot from the middle of the fairway on the par-4 second hole caromed into a greenside bunker. Minutes later he feathered his tee shot on the treacherous 230-yard par-3 third hole to 10 feet, only to stare in surprise when a pair of practice putts slid low and right of the cup.
At every turn, however, there were throngs of support as the two state troopers tasked with following the foursome did their best to duck out of the frame as fans pulled out their phones to capture Mickelson's every move.
It was a scene reminiscent of his stunning performance in South Carolina two years ago, when he fended off Brooks Koepka and Louis Oosthuizen to become the first 50-something to capture one of golf's four majors.
Mickelson bailed on a chance to defend his PGA title last year at Southern Hills, part of the initial fallout of comments in which he said he was fine aligning with LIV Golf in an effort to put pressure on the PGA Tour.
Three weeks later, he teed it up with LIV outside London.
Now he's seemingly entrenched on the upstart tour while calling out entities like the PGA Tour, the PGA of America and the USGA for practices he believes could exclude LIV players from opportunities to compete in majors like the PGA and the U.S. Open.
Remove the rhetoric, however, and Mickelson can still bring it. He put together a stunning final round 7-under 65 at Augusta National to charge up the leaderboard and tie for second behind Jon Rahm at the Masters.
The noise around the LIV/PGA Tour rift seems to have calmed a bit in western New York. Rahm, the world's No. 1-ranked player, said he hoped to play a practice round with Mickelson at some point. It didn't work out this week.
Maybe the nearly three-hour trip around the front nine with Johnson, Varner and Gooch was Mickelson's way of trying to give some of his LIV colleagues some pointers on a course he knows well.
Mickelson went 3-0 in his Ryder Cup debut in 1995, shot a 4-under 66 to share the first round lead at the 2003 PGA before fading to a tie for 23rd. He never really threatened in 2013, undone by a 78 on Saturday that had him finishing up his final round long before eventual champion Jason Dufner teed off.
Dufner isn't playing at Oak Hill this weekend. Mickelson, however, remains a fixture. Popular too. By the end of his round he'd shed his hoodie for one of his signature black polos and spent several minutes signing autographs or posing for selfies.
The calls of “Phil!” persisted as he slowly made his way toward the parking lot, urging those he missed to try to grab him later in the week.
Minutes later, Mickelson did a little bit of stretching then hopped into the massive SUV idling in his reserved parking space before zooming away, eyes fixated on the road ahead, not the road behind.

A Code for Self-Expression
LONDON, Oct. 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- De Beers RVL is the latest collection from the Jewelry House, available globally from October. Bold and modern in design, the new collection invites everyone to celebrate the essence of who they are, revealing their individual character through styling and stacking the pieces as they wish. In a juxtaposition of mixed metals, four 18k white gold and diamond pieces are joined by three in black titanium and 18k rose gold.
The De Beers' monogram inspired the collection's aesthetic, with outlines of the 'D' and 'B' imprinted in the metal to form lines that resemble a code, and when viewed from the side, a gear. Like the De Beers initials hidden within the design, one's unique character is not immediately evident; it must be revealed. As a mechanism that incites action, De Beers RVL emboldens the wearer to express their extraordinary self to the rest of the world through a variety of contemporary materials, distinct designs and playful styling.
The white gold pieces include a pendant in the shape of an irregular octagon, featuring rows of pavé-set diamonds, and a bracelet with a white gold barrel circumvented with diamond lines and threaded onto a black knotted cord for an urban and well-travelled vibe. A signet ring and a band complete the quartet. Smooth and solid in form, they are statements of simplicity and confidence with a hidden meaning.
A trio of black titanium and rose gold pieces – a pendant, bracelet and ring – contrast with the white gold pieces and complement the collection. The lines of this design are formed from depressions in the metal which have been lined with rose gold, visually intriguing and tactile against the brushed titanium surface. They feature a hidden diamond next to the concealed letters, its presence known only by the wearer…unless they choose to reveal it. Both iterations of the collection can be mixed and matched, offering a variety of creative options.
"The beauty of this collection is that there is no prescription about who should wear these pieces or how they should be styled; it is entirely up to the wearer," says Céline Assimon, CEO De Beers Jewellers. "The designs feature a secret code, but they also reflect striations visible in rocks, which reveal the story of the earth in which our diamonds were formed naturally. De Beers RVL serves to signify both our commitment to design jewelry that allows our clients express who they are and our heritage as pioneers of diamond perfection."
The new De Beers RVL collection will be available in De Beers stores worldwide and debeers.com from October 2022.

ROCHESTER, N.Y., March 31, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- ProFlex is providing a solution to the nursing-shortage crisis, enabling hospitals to simultaneously save millions of dollars while caring for patients with happier, well-compensated nurses and fully staffed shifts.
ProFlex presents a long-term partnership with healthcare systems that gives the power and control back to the hospitals, which have been overpaying travel-nurse agencies to fill gaps in staffing and patient care. ProFlex helped its launch hospital system in Western New York save more than 30 percent on contingent nursing costs last year, while helping administrators build their own nursing pool, fill shifts, and ultimately reduce dependency on the costly travel-nurse agencies. This allowed for a savings of tens of millions of dollars and the much-needed rebuilding of culture on the nursing floor and stability among staff.
The Covid pandemic took a toll on nursing as a profession, trimming the workforce as nurses burned out or left the field due to extended hours and pressure while making sacrifices in the most challenging conditions. CBS News reported in the fall, "Nurses are considered the backbone of the U.S. health care system, but there's an unprecedented shortage. Travel nurses are a solution, but it comes at the cost of morale and the bottom line because they're offered more money than nurses on staff."
ProFlex offers the nursing pool the opportunity to make a stronger rate while staying aligned with the hospital in their region. ProFlex works with healthcare administrators to determine sustainable rates and best workflow and onboard personnel and marketing technology to reach well-aligned talent.
"I have worked collaboratively with the team that created ProFlex over the last 15 years and they are special because they are nimble, transformational, and care about the long-standing implications of workforce needs on communities and healthcare teams," said Bridgette Wiefling, M.D., Senior Vice president of Clinical Transformation for Highmark Health in Pittsburgh. "I worked collaboratively with them to develop this alternative model for staffing-cost reduction that creates flexibility and leverages health system employee relationships, creating a win-win with instant returns proven to be effective and sustainable."
Before the pandemic travel nurses made up about 5 percent of all floor nurses, but that number is now an average of 25 percent nationally. The New York Times reported travel nurses filling the gaps "were earning salaries ranging from $6,000 to $10,000 a week, up from a weekly average of $1,700 in 2019. Hospitals were in such dire need for nurses, they had to pay whatever rates the agencies demanded."
Travel nurses deserve the same gratitude for the role they played throughout the pandemic, yet the challenge is they come with a hefty price tag, leaving hospitals in financial crisis and the stability and culture on the nursing floor compromised. At times the travel nurse resided in the same town as the hospital, earning far more than their nursing counterparts.
"The job market for healthcare professionals demands a new solution to return power to hospitals," said Lindsay McCutchen, founder of ProFlex's parent company Tallavera. "Controlling talent costs is paramount and we take pride in ProFlex's powerful sourcing capabilities that provide transparency in pricing, market demand, and peer performance."
McCutchen developed the ProFlex model, informed by her experience in staffing the frontlines of healthcare systems for decades. ProFlex is expanding nationwide with the support of The ZLH Group and its CEO Ben Wood.
"Our nurses need to be financially cared for, yet the current landscape of healthcare staffing is unsustainable for hospital systems, all but ensuring profitability for travel-nurse agencies," Wood said. "The ProFlex partnership strives to improve outcomes through improved nurse-to-patient care ratios."
Michael Sorrento, Executive Vice President of The ZLH Group, is guiding the ProFlex expansion. He trained as a nurse and worked for over two decades to bring innovation to healthcare systems.
"It's meaningful to fight for our nurses that have sacrificed so much caring for our neighbors and loved ones," Sorrento said. "Today's nursing crisis has jeopardized the stability, teamwork, and camaraderie on the nursing floor, which impacts quality of care and patient & family experiences. ProFlex serves as an alternate, sustainable solution that not only meets the needs of the C-suite, but also the caregivers that have been heroic when we've needed them the most."
Hospitals and healthcare administrators may contact Michael Sorrento at m.sorrento@proflexmed.com or (888) 740-7015 to learn more about ProFlex.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (WHTM) – A 19-year-old baseball player in Pennsylvania has died after a makeshift dugout structure collapsed on him, according to the president of Central Penn College.
The Cumberland County Coroner’s office confirmed the player’s identity as Angel Mercado, who attended the college, saying he died at Holy Spirit Hospital from an accidental traumatic head injury.
According to City of Harrisburg Communications Director Matt Maisel, Mercado was part of the Harrisburg International League, which consists of older students from multiple area schools who had permission to play on the rented field where the accident happened.
However, Maisel said, they did not have a permit to build the structure, which the baseball team’s coach, Gerardo Diaz, said was being constructed to protect the players from the rain and sun.
Around 3 p.m. on Monday, the structure collapsed on Mercado while they were attempting to take it down, leaving him unable to breathe. Diaz said he performed CPR on Mercado and that he had woken up before he was taken to the hospital.
The league is not affiliated with the college, Central Penn said.
According to a statement from Central Penn College President Linda Fedrizzi-Williams, they “are mourning the heart-wrenching loss of one of our own, a promising young athlete who senselessly lost his life while helping others enjoy the sport he loved so much.”
The statement also said that the “baseball team said their goodbyes” and “expressed their love to their brother.”
Harrisburg Mayor Wanda R.D. Williams issued the following statement on Wednesday morning:
“We are devastated to learn of the passing of Angel Mercado-Ocasio. Anytime someone passes, we lose a little bit of who we are. It hurts even more when it’s one of our own. Angel was our son; a proud Harrisburg Cougar, and a stand-out, promising young athlete. He died helping others around the sport he loved. It’s heart-wrenching. Angel embraced so many people and now we need to embrace his memory. We ask everyone in the community to pray for his family, his friends, and his teammates, as we get through this impossibly difficult time together. The City of Harrisburg would like to extend our sincere condolences and prayers to the family.”
The college said counselors are being offered to students and staff.
By Wednesday morning, the structure was fully removed from the field, which remained closed. Harrisburg officials said they were documenting the scene.

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced a delay in his judicial overhaul plan Monday, saying he wanted to give time to seek a compromise over the contentious package with his political opponents.
Netanyahu made the announcement after two days of large protests against the plan.
“When there’s an opportunity to avoid civil war through dialogue, I, as prime minister, am taking a timeout for dialogue,” Netanyahu said in a nationally televised address.
Striking a more conciliatory tone than in previous speeches, he said he was determined to pass a judicial reform but called for “an attempt to achieve broad consensus.”
Immediately after Netanyahu’s statement, the head of the country’s largest trade union said it would call off a general strike that threatened to grind Israel’s economy to a halt.
Netanyahu spoke after tens of thousands of Israelis demonstrated outside parliament and workers launched a nationwide strike Monday in a dramatic escalation of the mass protest movement aimed at halting his plan.
The chaos shut down much of the country and threatened to paralyze the economy. Departing flights from the main international airport were grounded. Large mall chains and universities closed their doors, and Israel’s largest trade union called for its 800,000 members to stop work in health care, transit, banking and other fields.
Diplomats walked off the job at foreign missions, and local governments were expected to close preschools and cut other services. The main doctors union announced that its members would also strike.
The growing resistance to Netanyahu’s plan came hours after tens of thousands of people burst into the streets around the country in a spontaneous show of anger at the prime minister’s decision to fire his defense minister after he called for a pause to the overhaul. Chanting “the country is on fire,” they lit bonfires on Tel Aviv’s main highway, closing the thoroughfare and many others throughout the country for hours.
Demonstrators gathered again Monday outside the Knesset, or parliament, turning the streets surrounding the building and the Supreme Court into a roiling sea of blue-and-white Israeli flags dotted with rainbow Pride banners. Large demonstrations in Tel Aviv, Haifa and other cities drew thousands more.
“This is the last chance to stop this move into a dictatorship,” said Matityahu Sperber, 68, who joined a stream of people headed to the protest outside the Knesset. “I’m here for the fight to the end.”
Netanyahu spent the day in consultations with his aides and coalition partners before announcing the delay. Earlier, some members of his Likud party said they would support the prime minister if he heeded calls to halt the overhaul.
National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, who has been one of the strongest proponents of the plan, announced after meeting with the prime minister that he had agreed to a delay of at least a few weeks.
He said Netanyahu had agreed to bring the legislation for a vote when parliament reconvenes for its summer session on April 30 “if no agreements are reached during the recess.”
Netanyahu gave no timeline for a compromise to be reached in his speech, but expressed hope that the nation would heal and that people would enjoy the upcoming Passover holiday.
The speech appeared to calm tensions, but it did not resolve the underlying tensions behind the protests. Even before he spoke, the grassroots anti-government protest movement said a delay was would not be enough.
“A temporary freeze does not suffice, and the national protests will continue to intensify until the law is rejected in the Knesset,” organizers said.
The plan — driven by Netanyahu, who is on trial for corruption, and his allies in Israel’s most right-wing government ever — has plunged Israel into one of its worst domestic crises.
It has sparked sustained protests that have galvanized nearly all sectors of society, including its military, where reservists have increasingly said publicly that they will not serve a country veering toward autocracy.
Israel’s Palestinian citizens, however, have largely sat out the protests. Many say Israel’s democracy is tarnished by its military rule over their brethren in the West Bank and the discrimination they themselves face.
The turmoil has magnified longstanding and intractable differences over Israel’s character that have riven it since the country was founded. Protesters insist they are fighting for the soul of the nation, saying the overhaul will remove Israel’s system of checks and balances and directly challenge its democratic ideals.
The government has labeled them anarchists out to topple democratically elected leaders. Government officials say the plan will restore balance between the judicial and executive branches and rein in what they see as an interventionist court with liberal sympathies.
At the center of the crisis is Netanyahu himself, Israel’s longest-serving leader, and questions about the lengths he may be willing to go to maintain his grip on power, even as he battles charges of fraud, breach of trust and accepting bribes in three separate affairs. He denies wrongdoing.
On Monday afternoon, Netanyahu issued his first statement since he fired Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, urging against violence ahead of a planned counterprotest in Jerusalem organized by ultranationalist supporters of the judicial overhaul.
Some 20,000 right-wing Israelis attended the counter demonstration, which also took place near parliament and passed without violence.“They won’t steal the election from us,” read a flyer for event, organized by Religious Zionist party.
“I call on all protesters in Jerusalem, right and left, to behave responsibly and not act violently,” Netanyahu wrote on Twitter.
The firing of Netanyahu’s defense minister at a time of heightened security threats in the West Bank and elsewhere, appeared to be a last straw for many, including apparently the Histadrut, the country’s largest trade union umbrella group, which sat out the monthslong protests before the defense minister’s firing.
“Where are we leading our beloved Israel? To the abyss,” Arnon Bar-David, the group’s head, said in a rousing speech to applause. “Today we are stopping everyone’s descent toward the abyss.”
On Monday, as the embers of the highway bonfires were cleared, Israel’s ceremonial president, Isaac Herzog, called again for an immediate halt to the overhaul.
“The entire nation is rapt with deep worry. Our security, economy, society — all are under threat,” he said. “Wake up now!”
Opposition leader Yair Lapid said the crisis was driving Israel to the brink.
“We’ve never been closer to falling apart. Our national security is at risk, our economy is crumbling, our foreign relations are at their lowest point ever. We don’t know what to say to our children about their future in this country,” Lapid said.
The developments were being watched by the Biden administration, which is closely allied with Israel yet has been uneasy with Netanyahu and the far-right elements of his government. National Security Council spokesperson Adrienne Watson said the United States was “deeply concerned” by the developments.
The architect of the plan, Justice Minister Yariv Levin, a popular party member, had long promised he would resign if the overhaul was suspended. But on Monday, he said he would respect the prime minister’s decision should he halt the legislation.
Netanyahu’s dismissal of Gallant appeared to signal that the prime minister and his allies would barrel ahead. Gallant was the first senior member of the ruling Likud party to speak out against the plan, saying the deep divisions threatened to weaken the military.
And Netanyahu’s government forged ahead with a centerpiece of the overhaul — a law that would give the governing coalition the final say over all judicial appointments. A parliamentary committee approved the legislation on Monday for a final vote, which could come this week.
The government also seeks to pass laws that would would grant the Knesset the authority to overturn Supreme Court decisions and limit judicial review of laws.
A separate law that would circumvent a Supreme Court ruling to allow a key coalition ally to serve as minister was delayed following a request from that party’s leader.

Sea lions in video sparring, not chasing beachgoers, expert says
Published: Jul. 12, 2022 at 9:42 AM CDT|Updated: 28 minutes ago
SAN DIEGO (AP) — A SeaWorld San Diego expert said Monday that a pair of sea lions that sent dozens of San Diego beachgoers running in fear last week were likely chasing each other, sparring over their rights to mate with females.
Eric Otjen of SeaWorld says the behavior that was caught on a TikTok video that went viral is normal this time of year as breeding season gets underway.
He says the beachgoers, however, were still wise to flee.
The mammals weigh between 200 and 300 pounds and could easily barrel over people if they got in their way.

Matt Hitchings, University of Florida and Derek Cummings, University of Florida
(THE CONVERSATION)
Antibodies to SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, were present in the blood of 96.4% of Americans over the age of 16 by September 2022. That’s according to a serosurvey – an analysis testing for the presence of these immune defense molecules – conducted on samples from blood donors.
A serosurvey like this one helps researchers estimate how many people have been exposed to any part of the coronavirus, whether via vaccination or infection. Both can trigger the generation of antibodies to SARS-CoV-2. And by identifying which kind of antibodies someone has in their blood, researchers can break down the 96.4% into different types of immunity: infection-derived, vaccine-derived and hybrid.
COVID-19 vaccines used in the United States are based on only one part of the virus – the spike, or S, protein. Researchers can tell that a person has been vaccinated and has not been infected if their blood has only anti-S antibodies that target that spike protein. If someone has anti-N antibodies, which target the virus’s nucleocapsid protein, it’s a sign that they’ve been infected by SARS-CoV-2. To reliably identify someone with hybrid immunity, a researcher would need to match someone who has anti-N antibodies to an official vaccination database.
What about the 3.6% without antibodies?
Immunologists know that antibody levels decrease in the months after a COVID-19 infection or vaccination, and this is true for many pathogens. It’s possible some people did have antibodies at one point, but they’re no longer detectable. And not every infection leads to a detectable antibody response, particularly if the case was mild or asymptomatic.
Another factor is the accuracy of the antibody test. No test is perfect, so a small percentage of people who truly have antibodies might come up negative.
Together, these considerations mean that the 96.4% number is likely an underestimate. It seems reasonable to conclude that almost no one in this population has neither been infected by SARS-CoV-2 nor received a COVID-19 vaccine.
A clearer picture of a virus’s spread
Serosurveys are useful for understanding how likely different types of people – of varying ages or races, for example – were to have been infected. For this purpose, a serosurvey can be much more reliable than using data on people who received a positive PCR test, or who report having had a positive rapid antigen test, because getting a positive test is heavily influenced by access to care, health care behavior and how severe your illness is. These are sources of what is called bias.
This bias has two effects: It leads to large underestimation of the proportion of the overall population infected, and it can lead to spurious differences between groups. For example, people with mild symptoms are less likely to get tested and are also likely to be younger. Researchers might draw the wrong conclusion that because they’re not getting tested these people aren’t actually catching the virus.
Looking at antibodies as a marker of infection is not biased by such behavioral factors. Many serosurveys, including ones that we worked on in Chennai, India, and Salvador, Brazil, found similar or even higher seroprevalence in children compared with young adults, contradicting an early narrative that children were less susceptible to the virus. Instead, our results suggested that infections in children were less likely to be detected.
What does this statistic mean for future waves?
Antibodies are not just a marker of previous infection; part of their job is to help prevent future infection with the same pathogen. So, serosurveys can be used to understand levels of immunity in the population.
For some diseases, like measles, immunity is essentially lifelong, and having antibodies means you are protected. However, for SARS-CoV-2 this is not the case, because the virus has continually evolved new variants that are able to reinfect people despite their antibodies.
Nevertheless, many studies have shownthat individuals with hybrid immunitywill be more protected against future infection and variants than those with vaccine- or infection-derived immunity alone. It may be useful to know the proportion of the population with single-source immunity in order to target certain groups with vaccination campaigns.

Which Bvlgari perfume is best?
Ever since Bvlgari introduced its first perfume in 1992, it has developed a reputation for producing luxurious fragrances. Bvlgari built its name by making jewelry, and this pedigree is evident in their striking perfume bottles. But the contents of Bvlgari’s artful bottles are even more desirable.
Whether it be a floral fragrance or something spicy and mysterious for the night, there is a Bvlgari perfume for everyone. If you’re considering buying one for yourself or someone special, you can’t go wrong with Bvlgari Omnia Amethyste, thanks to its reasonable price and versatile scent.
What to know before you buy Bvlgari perfume
About Bvlgari
Founded by Sotirio Bulgari, a Greek silversmith, in Rome in 1884, Bvlgari was initially a shop for his silver creations before the company turned to jewelry. His sons took over the business after his death in the 1930s and, by the ’50s and ’60s, the brand’s bold, colorful pieces were being snapped up by the biggest celebrities of the day, including Elizabeth Taylor, Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly. While the jewelry is as expensive as ever, Bvlgari’s fragrances are a somewhat more affordable way to experience the brand’s impeccable attention to detail.
Eau de toilette vs. eau de parfum
Almost all Bvlgari perfumes are either eau de toilette or Eau de parfum. Eau de toilette is a common concentration and contains between 5%-15% perfume oils. Eau de parfum, on the other hand, contains 15%-20% perfume oils, which means that it is more intense and longer-lasting. Bvlgari also offers some eau de cologne sprays, which are much lighter with a concentration of 3%-5%.
Types of Bvlgari perfume
There are several collections of Bvlgari perfumes to choose from, each comes with their own unique packaging. Here are a few of the most popular that are currently available in the United States.
Omnia: This eau de toilette comes in three fragrance options: Crystalline, which is floral and woody, Coral, which is floral and fruity, and Amethyste, which is a purely floral blend of rose and iris.
Goldea: The Goldea collection features two fragrances: Rose Goldea, which is a classic floral rose musk, and Rose Goldea Blossom Delight, which is a lighter, fresher floral scent with a mix of rosebuds, rose petals and lily of the valley.
La Gemme: Inspired by precious gemstones and the spice saffron, the perfumes in this collection come in collectible jewel-toned bottles you’ll want to display even after the perfume is gone.
What to look for in a quality Bvlgari perfume
Unique bottle design
Bvlgari perfumes come in unique bottles that serve as stand-alone display pieces once the perfume is finished. They often come in eye-popping colors with intriguing geometry, such as graceful curves or pleasing lines.
Gift sets
If you’re looking for a gift for someone special, Bvlgari offers some of its fragrances in beautifully packaged gift sets. Their Petits et Mamans gift set, for instance, includes a pretty floral eau de toilette and body lotion with an adorable bunny travel pouch meant to be shared with a child. They also offer guest sets that come complete with everything your guest would need, such as shampoo, conditioner, soap, lotion and eau de cologne spray.
How much you can expect to spend on Bvlgari perfume
Bvlgari is synonymous with luxury and exclusivity, and their perfume prices tend to reflect that. Expect to spend around $80-$350 or more per bottle.
Bvlgari perfume FAQ
Where should I store my new Bvlgari perfume?
A. Although you may want to display your bottles, putting them in direct sunlight will cause the fragrance to degrade faster. However, you can keep them on display in cool, dimly lit places, such as your closet.
Does perfume expire?
A. Unfortunately, perfume does expire. After about 1.5 to 2 years, perfume tends to lose its integrity. However, because Bvlgari uses such high-quality ingredients, you can count on it to be a long-lasting perfume. Storing them in cool, dark places, as mentioned above, will also help them retain their freshness.
What’s the best Bvlgari perfume to buy?

More than 180 Warehouse Workers Win Representation with Teamsters Local 493
DAYVILLE, Conn., July 20, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Warehouse workers at America's largest organic and natural food supplier, United Natural Foods, Inc. (UNFI), have voted overwhelmingly to join Teamsters Local 493 in Uncasville, Conn. The 185 selectors, loaders, lift operators and other warehouse workers are seeking strong representation on the job to win higher wages, better health care, and a pension.
"We are very proud today to call ourselves Teamsters! We fought hard to give ourselves a voice on the job, fighting for respect and dignity," said Nana Kumah, a second shift loader at UNFI and leading voice on the worker-led organizing committee.
Kumah and his co-workers overcame a vicious anti-union campaign by the company. They will now join more than 3,500 Teamsters at UNFI nationwide.
"These workers had been treated so bad for so long. They deserved better. We look forward to getting to the table and getting them dignity and respect," said Bevan J. Sweet, Secretary-Treasurer of Local 493. "The drivers and clerical workers were already members, so the warehouse workers were the last piece of the puzzle. We have more leverage at the table now than ever before."
Once the election is certified, Sweet said Local 493 will kick off proposal meetings and begin the bargaining process for a first contract.
"UNFI workers in Connecticut came together to take on their employer and demand respect. This determined group was fearless and never wavered in their campaign to win strong representation. Today's victory was all about raising the bar and improving standards," said Tom Erickson, Director of the Teamsters Warehouse Division. "Workers are taking control of their future at UNFI facilities across the country. From coast to coast, worker activism has been infectious and organizing efforts are spreading like wildfire."

Albuquerque plans to revitalize Menaul corridor
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — It’s an area that’s been become a hot bed for trouble the last few years causing some businesses to even shut their doors.
The City of Albuquerque’s been working to revamp this area for a while for a long list of reasons, but change could be headed towards the area.
The Menaul Metropolitan Redevelopment Area plan. In some ways, it could be a potential lifeline of hope for an area that’s been plagued with crime.
The Albuquerque Development Commission met on Thursday, and the plan, also known as the MRA plan, is making progress.
The plan would revamp the Menaul Corridor area. The area is off of I-40 and Phoenix Avenue intersecting with I-25 and the North Diversion Channel.
Multiple businesses closed down in the area in the last few years, including the Range Cafe in 2020.
Crime is stretched out through the area, but other things have warranted concern from some business owners, like the homeless population.
“I’m pretty sure that turns away business, especially since we have a patio out here, people like to sit outside and not be bothered,” Tyler Fabian, owner of Urban 360 Pizza said.
The city is hoping to change a few main lots of land in the area. The city also wants to work on better communication between business owners who reside there. The development commission is really hammering to fix public safety in the area.
The proposal to revamp this area made it through the development commission and now awaits approval from City Hall.

White Marlin Open founder talks past, future as Ocean City's big tourney at 50th year
The 50th anniversary of the White Marlin Open is coming to Ocean City this summer, as boats and anglers flock to the Eastern Shore with hopes of catching big fish and the money that comes with it.
The World's Largest Billfishing Tournament has come a long way to become a staple in both the local Eastern Shore community and the fishing community all along the East Coast. Founder Jim Motsko has been there every step of the way, helping to shepherd the tournament throughout its growth.
A Baltimore native, Motsko helped found the tournament in Ocean City in 1974, with people sportfishing in the Eastern Shore town that is known as "The White Marlin Capital of the World." Now, people flock from all over to compete for the record-setting prize money, or just to witness the event at the scales each year.
Motsko talked with Delmarva Now recently about the White Marlin Open's history, approaching 50 years of the tournament, and what the tournament has meant to him and his family
What has it been like getting ready for this year's tournament and the preparations, especially with this being a milestone year for you guys?
We're not doing a whole lot different this year than we were last year, other than letting people be aware that it's the 50th. We have our annual T-shirt design that celebrates our 50th, and we've got a little logo that we added on to our normal one.
And we also have the new added entry level to specifically celebrate our 50th anniversary, $50,000 White Marlin Open winner-take-all added entry level. And that's been the talk of the town. But other than that we're doing the same thing that we do every year.
I just came back from a two-day promotion trip up to Northern Jersey. and before that a two-day trip to the Carolinas and Virginia. We're doing what we normally do and we're hoping that the weather stays good for the next three or four weeks and the marlins show up in real good numbers.

Personally, are there more feelings going into this accomplishment and what you guys have been able to build over the last 50 years?
Yeah, when you look back and mention 50 years, I'm 76. Looking back and thinking, "Goodness gracious, it seems like I've been doing this all my life." And my kids have been doing it all their lives.
They were born into it. So every now and then you sit back and you think about it. But we're not languishing on our laurels, lets put it that way.
I think all of us are kind of awed that we managed to get 50 years in of doing this. We started this from scratch, and it really wasn't intended to be what it ended up to be.
But as every year went by, we just kept doing a little bit more, and we kept getting more boats, more prize money. I think, deep down inside, each and everyone of us, myself and my two daughters especially, it's a good feeling, very good feeling.
Was there every a specific moment or specific year were you thought "Wow, this has grown so much and so far past my expectations?"
Well we didn't plan it this way, it just kept growing. It wasn't like I went to school to learn and get a business model for how to run a tournament.
Over the years, the tournament was originally set up so I could fish in it and win some money by catching the most, and then use that money to go fishing because sportfishing, at least this type, is very expensive. I never won any kind of big money in the tournament.
I'm just happy to be part of it right now. A lot of people are patting us on the back and saying, "Good tournament this year," hopefully it's good. We're all happy about it, we just want to get it over with [laughs]. I mean that's pretty much the way it is right now, get it done and do it now.
Last year was my second year covering it and I recognized a lot of the guys at the scales that help out with the fish from the year before. The community around the tournament that you guys have built, is it kind of a family atmosphere? Especially when you're working with your family as well.
We've been working with the same group of people for a while. My daughters have been doing it all there lives.
Our weigh staff ... there's about four or five guys that show up every year and their our weigh staff. Connor Motsko, one of my nephews has taken into one of the spots.
And then we have people who just volunteer all the time. Those guys are all volunteers. We have people that help us with the T-shirts and help us with whatever we need that week.
And it's not like the city gets behind us all, it's just we have our little core people that are real nice and they get to enjoy it. If they're happy and helping us, then we love that and we appreciate them.

You guys have become a staple when it comes to Ocean City events. In the summers you attract a lot of people, whether its people that are competing in the tournament or people that just want to come to the scales, hang out and see the fish. What's it been like establishing yourself locally?
It wasn't planned this way, it just happened to work out this way. It is a big event, no question about it, when you mention 400 boats, or people talking about how many boats we have.
Watching 400 boats come in and out of the inlet, it seems like it never ends. And when the boats leave to go fishing or when they come in, it just seems like it takes a long time for the bridge to go up because there's lots of boats that go through it.
It is a big deal. It's the biggest boat show, I call it, that there is. Where do you get 400 boats together all at one time? There's not many places you can do that.
We're very lucky Ocean City has the facilities to hold what we're doing. Ocean City is tight on boat dockage during that week, but everything else they have, motels, great restaurants, good beaches, good fishing. So we're lucky to have it here in Ocean City.
A lot of places that have other fishing events don't have the facilities that Ocean City has. And I'm sure it helps us get more boats and people to participate because if part of the family wants to go the beach and the other part of the family wants to go fishing you can do it. But there's not a lot of places where you can do multiple things ... Ocean City offers it all.
From the fishing aspect of the tournament, you guys bring in a lot of fish, some released, some you bring to the scales. People donate fish to the food bank.
The food bank, we donate everything that's not used by our anglers. And a lot of people, even though they like to catch some of the tuna fish and keep it for themselves, they'll start donating that.
Last year I think we had more than 2,000 pounds of food, basically. We have them cleaned, they're giving to the Maryland food bank and distributed through the Eastern Shore, mostly in this county. And those people who receive it, and feed their people, they're the ones who really appreciate it.
So, we're fortunate to have it all spoken for. And it's good protein that a lot of times people don't get. We're very happy to help them fill that need.
What are some of the more memorable moments or years of the competition that stand out in your memory?
Well in 1991, we hit I think 257 boats that year. That was the year that we were officially the largest billfish tournament in the world. We had surpassed a tournament in Australia, and that was a real good milestone, and it stands out in my brain, lets put it that way.
That was one of the really nicest things that I have ever experienced, to all of a sudden be called the biggest tournament in the world. I never expected anything like that.
But also, 2002, the white marlin was proposed to be listed as an endangered species by the Department of Commerce. That year at our fishing event, the marlins showed up in numbers, and that tournament we had that year in 2002, I think we had more than 1,400 white marlin caught and released.
About 10 days after that, myself and some other people joined our congressman at the time Wayne Gilchrest to go to D.C. and testify to the House Oceans Committees about whether we felt that the white marlin needed to be listed as an endangered. I thought the comment of "If they're endangered, then we just had out best year ever in the number of fish caught." And that was enough to convince those people who make the laws that it really wasn't necessary.
LOSING AN ICON:Tony Russo, owner of popular Ocean City Boardwalk business Tony's Pizza, passes away
FIREWORKS ALL SUMMER:Ocean City brings back fireworks for first time since pandemic. Where, when to see shows.
What happened after that was, everybody started using circle hooks, hooks designed so they don't kill the fish. Since that date, the white marlin has been recovering in numbers, not due to us primarily.
But if they would've put a moratorium on fishing, we wouldn't been in business any longer after 2002. That sticks in my mind. If that wouldn't have happened, we wouldn't even be on the phone right now.
Two years ago we had a crazy finish. On Friday night there were boats coming in. Places change sometimes, but usually on the last day on Friday, there's a whole lot of people counting their money.
And when that happened and more boats started coming and people who were first end up becoming fourth. And that was a very unique finish. I don't know if we can ever top anything like that. Hopefully this year we have some excitement the last couple days.
Those things really stick into my mind, and really after the first year, that we were able to have a successful tournament and pay out money starting from scratch, just starting from an idea. That was probably the biggest one. Getting over the hump and then realizing, "We did this, and let's do it again next year."
People liked it, people asked us if we were going to do it again, and we automatically started saying yeah, we're going to do it again. We're going to do it every year. And that's what happened.
You talked about testifying in front of Congress. Being a fishing tournament, how often do you guys come under fire when it comes to fishing and environmental groups and things like that?
It's always happened, some times worse than others. The fish is a resource, and I think what we're doing, we release like 98% of the billfish that are caught. And my opinion and my opinion only is that it's making the highest and best use of that resource, instead of having boats catch them and sell them commercially for fertilizer.
It generates more money to the whole economy, when people catch the fish, you let him go, and then people go hire a boat and spend the money to go out fishing again. So, as far as the people that really sail that really don't know the whole game, it's nice to have your own cause, but what would you rather have done with them? Would you rather have them caught and released and generate millions of dollars worth of revenue for the cities, the counties and the people? Or would you rather just not and have netters catch them all, grind them up and use them for fertilizer?
I take it seriously, and I don't have any problem with people having issues with us, but they really don't know what they're talking about as far as us decimating the ocean. It's not the fishermen.
It's like Ducks Unlimited. You want the ducks. Even though you shoot them, you want them. It makes the population grow.
I think tournaments that are run under basically the same guidelines as ours, they're good things. We have very high minimum weights. With what we're doing here, we're very satisfied that a lot of the other tournaments would have the same high weights that we do.
Going back to the growth of the tournament, you guys have had celebrity's enter the tournament, Michael Jordan, Emeril Lagesse. What's that like, running a tournament from the start and it grows to the point where arguably the greatest basketball player ever decides that he wants to come annually to compete?
It gets us attention, there's no question about that. You'd be surprised how many people are asking me if Michael Jordan is coming back this year. People who are not fisherman, they're curious.
We had Wade Boggs, who is a baseball player whose fished in numerous years. We've had Roy Clark, a country singer, he used to fish it a lot.
A lot of those high profile people, they don't want us to know they're even there. And we do not publicize things when people are there. I respect their privacy. They're people too, they like to go fishing.
Once they're on the water, whether they're a good basketball players or good cooks or baseball players, that doesn't necessarily mean they're really good anglers. A lot of them are because they have the money and the time to do it and practice.
It's flattering to me that they would fish in our tournament. I'd like to see more of them. It's real nice publicity for our event when big name people who are very well known participate. I like that and I like to see that kind of stuff.
The tournament is a week in August and I'm sure you're preparing for it year-round, but what is life like for you outside of White Marlin Open?
I work in the real estate business. I'm still licensed in Maryland and Delaware, and I'm still dabbling a little bit in the real estate business, but I'm not working full-time any longer in it. I did it for 51 years and I don't need to do it, which is nice.
I enjoy being my own boss, and at White Marlin Open the buck stops here. So if anybody's to blame, it's me.
I enjoy what I'm doing. I don't look at the tournament as being work, although it is. It's year-round. Winters are slower than summer obviously. But I get enjoyment out of it. It's not like going to work. It's not like going to a 9 to 5 job at all. It's exciting.
You never know what the next day is going to bring. And like I said, it's not work to me. It's just the way it's always been, and hopefully it will be that way another 20 years.
Do you get nervous when the tournament starts to come up, or have you done it so many times it's kind of like riding a bike at this point?
No. You're always nervous because you never know. We don't know how many boats we're going to end up with until the last day. And if the weather's not good or the economy's bad, we don't really know.
It's always such a big relief, the end of registration night, that's one year's worth of work and preparation, it's over. The boats are here, now let's go fishing. And for me it's such a relief, no matter how many boats we end up with, that that hard part is over.
And for at least a week, there's stress but there's not that stress anymore. I can wait another year for all that.
Overall, this tournament that you've embarked on and watched grow for the last 50 years, what has it meant to you and your life, your family life and your business?
Well, you know, I've never really thought about it. But when you ask me that question I think that it goes to show that if you have a good idea, I've learned this: You don't have to be a college graduate, an MBA, to be able to make a living. And we were fortunate for our family to be able to make on something that's never been done before.
I'm kind of proud of that, that we were able to grow this business as much as we have. it wasn't intentional. But obviously we were doing some right things, and stayed away from a lot of wrong things, because we're still in business.
And people like what we do. And that's really rewarding, to have people come up to you, even though I don't crave that at all. I publicize it, but I'd rather be anonymous to be honest with you.
We enjoy it, we enjoy working it, even though it's hard. I know my kids get very stressed out, we all do. But I think we'd rather be doing this than any other job.
When you look back and say, "Well what would you rather be doing right now?" Here we're basically our own bosses, and that I think is one of the biggest things.

Nationwide Recruitment for Successor to Begin
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Therese W. McMillan, executive director of the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) and the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) since 2019, notified the Commission that she will retire from both positions on January 31, 2023.
"After more than three decades of exceptional public service spanning local, regional and federal roles, including four years guiding both MTC and ABAG through some of the most difficult challenges ever to face the Bay Area, Therese has established an undisputed record of effective and committed leadership," observed MTC Chair and Napa County Supervisor Alfredo Pedroza. "The Commission is thankful for Therese's dedication to the Bay Area and our residents. Her leadership has strengthened MTC's position to continue the bold initiatives underway."
McMillan, who first joined the MTC staff in 1984 as a transportation planner, served in a series of increasingly responsible positions over the next 25 years, including nine years as MTC's Deputy Executive Director for Policy before her 2009 appointment by then-President Barack Obama to serve as Deputy Administrator of the Federal Transit Administration in the U.S. Department of Transportation. McMillan subsequently served as Acting FTA Administrator from March 2014 to March 2016 before returning to California in April 2016 as planning chief for the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority. During the final six years of her original MTC tenure, McMillan also was an instructor of transportation funding and finance in the Transportation Management graduate program at San Jose State University's Mineta Transportation Institute.
"It has been a tremendous honor to serve the Commission and the ABAG Executive Board members, my wonderful staff, our numerous regional partners, and most importantly, the people of the Bay Area," said McMillan.
MTC is the transportation planning, funding and coordinating agency for the nine-county San Francisco Bay Area. ABAG is the regional planning agency for the Bay Area's nine counties and 101 cities and towns, and is recognized as the first council of governments in California. MTC will provide details on the upcoming process for recruiting a new executive director as soon as they are available.

(NEXSTAR) – As Airbnb continues to crack down on partying at its rentals, the company says it is rolling out “new anti-party tools” in the U.S. and Canada intended to prevent some users from making reservations.
Earlier this summer, the home-rental website enacted strict anti-party measures for both Memorial Day and the Fourth of July. This kept any users that lacked positive reviews from booking an entire home listing for one-night reservations on either holiday weekend.
Then in June, Airbnb permanently banned parties at homes listed on its site for short-term rentals. In 2021 alone, more than 6,600 guests were suspended for related violations, according to Airbnb.
Airbnb’s new system aims to identify “potentially high-risk reservations and prevent those users from taking advantage of our platform.” A pilot program of a similar system has been conducted in Australia, where the company says it has seen a 35% drop in unauthorized parties since the program launched in October 2021.
The system will soon be permanent in Australia, and testing on the technology is now set to begin in the U.S. and Canada.
According to Airbnb, the system will look at multiple factors, including your history of — or lack of — positive reviews, how long you’ve been on Airbnb, how long your trip is, when during the week you plan to stay, how far away the listing is, and “many” additional aspects. Depending on the results, you may be prevented from making a reservation.
“The primary objective is attempting to reduce the ability of bad actors to throw unauthorized parties which negatively impact our Hosts, neighbors, and the communities we serve,” Airbnb said in a press release.
Those who are unable to book an entire home because of this new technology will be able to book a private room or a hotel stay through Airbnb, the company noted.
This new system is being referred to as “a more robust and sophisticated version” of Airbnb’s “under-25 system,” which focused on users under the age of 25 with no positive reviews trying to book local stays. However, Airbnb believes the new system will “have less of a blunt impact” on those that aren’t planning on throwing a party.
“While we are optimistic that this technology will have a positive impact for the safety of our community and our goal to reduce unauthorized parties — we want to be clear that no system is perfect,” Airbnb said. “We will communicate with transparency about the results of this testing phase and the next steps of our ban on parties.”
Airbnb began to crack down on parties in 2019 after a fatal shooting at a party at a house in California. At the time, the company prohibited advertising parties at Airbnb locations on social media.
The number of parties at Airbnb locations only increased during the pandemic, Airbnb said, as people moved gatherings from bars and clubs to rented homes. That led to a temporary ban in 2020.

HONOLULU (KHON) – Ala’s Mediterranean Kitchen currently sits on Leahi Avenue in Honolulu. The food truck’s owner, Ala Thavata, said he has been parked there for about four months and is paying for parking, but a wooden structure he built on the truck’s roof is drawing attention from neighbors.
Thavata said he built the wooden structure out of desperation, as he is facing eviction from his apartment, on top of health issues with his son.
“I had no other way,” Thavata said. “I have to either live in the parks, sleep, I can’t even have a tent so I am getting evicted and trying to make it.”
The food truck has a food establishment permit from the Hawaii Department of Health (HDOH), along with a green placard for his business.
The HDOH said they only focus on the food safety aspect of the business, not the structure.
Thavata said, “I thought this was my truck, I have the right to do whatever I want on my spot, this is a private road this owned by a private lady so I feel like this is my first step to life, so please don’t destroy me, guys.”
The owner of the food truck said the wooden structure just went up on Monday and said he plans on adding a tarp over it.
Thavata has also started a small garden on the hood of the truck.
KHON reached out to the city with questions from neighbors. The city said it is still working to determine jurisdiction over the food truck in question and whether any action is necessary.
In the meantime, Thavata said he has faced harassment for being parked there.
Thavata said, “I love my customers but I don’t know about the rest they really have a lot of haters.”
The city’s Department of Transportation Services Director, Roger Morton said the city plans to acquire Leahi Avenue and remove commercial activity from the street.

LONDON (AP) — A British nursing union on Friday rejected a pay offer from the government, dashing hopes of a quick end to a months-long wave of public-sector strikes that has disrupted schools, hospitals and services.
However, another major health union voted to accept the deal.
The Royal College of Nursing said its members would walk out again later this month. after 54% voted to reject the offer of a lump sum payment for 2022-23 and a 5% raise this year.
General Secretary Pat Cullen said members would strike for 48 hours starting April 30. For the first time, the walkout will include nurses working in intensive care, emergency rooms and cancer wards.
“What has been offered to date is simply not enough,” she said, adding: “Until there is a significantly improved offer, we are forced back to the picket line.”
In contrast, Unison, which represents health workers including ambulance crews, hospital porters and some nurses, said 74% of its members voted to accept the offer
“Clearly health workers would have wanted more, but this was the best that could be achieved through negotiation,” said Unison’s head of health, Sara Gorton. “Over the past few weeks, health workers have weighed up what’s on offer. They’ve opted for the certainty of getting the extra cash in their pockets soon.”
A wave of strikes has disrupted Britons’ lives for months, as workers demand pay raises to keep pace with soaring inflation, which stood at 10.4% in February.
Firefighters and London bus drivers have reached deals to keep working. But many other professions remain locked in pay disputes. Ambulance crews, teachers, border staff, driving examiners, bus drivers and postal workers – as well as doctors and nurses — have all walked off their jobs to demand higher pay.
Unions say wages, especially in the public sector, have fallen in real terms over the past decade, and a cost-of-living crisis fueled by sharply rising food and energy prices has left many struggling to pay their bills.
Thousands of junior doctors in the state-funded National Health Service held the final day of a four-day walkout on Friday. The early-career medics are seeking a 35% pay increase, a demand the government calls unreasonable.
Civil servants also announced a new strike on Friday after rejecting the government’s offer of a pay raise of 4.5% to 5%. The Prospect union said its members, who include weather service staff and health inspectors, will walk out on May 10 and June 7.

The man accused of attacking Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) husband told police that he also planned to target California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) and President Biden’s son Hunter Biden, a San Francisco police sergeant testified in court on Wednesday.
David DePape, the 42-year-old man who police say broke into the Pelosis’ San Francisco home and assaulted Paul Pelosi with a hammer, also told Sgt. Carla Hurley in an interview on the day of the attack that he believed there was “evil in Washington,” Hurley testified.
“There is evil in Washington, what they did went so far beyond the campaign. It originates with Hillary (Clinton),” DePape said, according to Hurley’s testimony.
“Honestly, day in, day out, they are lying. They go from one crime to another crime to another crime,” he added, according to Hurley.
The Speaker, who was in Washington, D.C., at the time, was the intended target of the late October attack, authorities have said. Hurley said DePape told her he wanted to harm the Speaker because she is second in line to the presidency.
Paul Pelosi suffered a skull fracture and injuries to his right arm and hands in the attack. He underwent successful surgery after the attack and is expected to make a full recovery, the Speaker’s office previously said.
DePape has pleaded not guilty to a slew of federal and state charges, including attempted murder, assault, attempted kidnapping, burglary and elder abuse.

BALTIMORE, Md. — A record number of Americans lost their lives to drug overdoses last year, and many of those deaths were tied to the opioid epidemic. Because of that addiction, experts are now pushing for new mobile methadone clinics as a way to help reach those struggling with addiction.
That includes people like Annies Bailey-Jackson, Adam Winepole, and John Torsch.
"These drugs are killing us," Annies Bailey-Jackson said.
"I’ve been exposed to a lot of death and hardship," John Torsch added.
"It’s killing people there are so many people dying from it," Adam Winepole added.
The three recovering addicts sat down to share their stories at what is the largest yearly gathering of policymakers and advocates trying to end the opioid epidemic. It took place in early November in Baltimore, Maryland.
"You have to explain to people, show how easy it is to get in trouble with opioids," said Mark Parrino, who serves as the president of the American Association for the Treatment of Opioid Dependence.
Parrino is pushing policymakers like those with Health and Humans Services to get more nationwide approval and funding for mobile methadone clinics. Methadone is a medication used to help people reduce or quit their use of heroin or other drugs. Currently, there’s only one such clinic in existence in Rhode Island.
"You have to demystify the treatment for this disorder," Parrino said.
This type of innovative methadone treatment couldn't come at a more critical American juncture. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), an estimated 107,000 people died of drug overdoses in the U.S. in 2021. An estimated 75% of those deaths involved an opioid but only 18% of people with an opioid use disorder received medication as treatment.
For those who have used methadone to recover from addiction, removing the stigma of a brick-and-mortar clinic is seen as lowering a major barrier to recovery.

KIGALI, Rwanda (AP) — Britain's recent decision to send some migrants to Rwanda is questioned by several people resettled in this tiny East African country who say it is not a suitable refuge.
One Eritrean refugee who was deported from Israel to Rwanda in 2015 said he found the country “too difficult” and moved his family to South Sudan, which promised better economic opportunities than Rwanda even though it was gripped by civil war at the time.
Berhani, 35, who gave only his first name to avoid possible reprisals, said he knows many other Eritreans resettled in Rwanda who have since left to make new homes in neighboring African countries or in Europe.
Questions are swirling around the suitability of Rwanda as a shelter for migrants following Britain's announcement earlier this month that it will send to Rwanda migrants arriving in the U.K. illegally as stowaways on trucks or small boats. Their asylum claims will be processed in Rwanda and, if successful, they will stay there.
The new policy is already being challenged in Britain's courts by a rights group that says it is unlawful.
Rwanda already is home to more than 130,000 refugees from countries such as Burundi, Congo, Libya and Pakistan, Rwandan Foreign Affairs Minister Vincent Biruta told reporters after signing the agreement with British Home Secretary Priti Patel in Kigali, the Rwandan capital, on April 14.
The plan has been criticized by rights groups and others who say it is cruel, expensive and unworkable. The U.N. refugee agency has described it as “contrary to the letter and spirit of the Refugee Convention.”
And the view of some refugees who years ago were resettled in Rwanda against their wishes is often far from rosy.
Rwandan authorities in recent years have given asylum to hundreds of people seeking shelter as a result of arrangements with Israel, the African Union, the United Nations and others. Many were from Eritrea and Ethiopia, including a group that had languished for months in detention centers in Libya.
Rwanda's agreement to take migrants that Britain deems illegal appears to ignore the country's own challenges.
The small country has about 13 million people, making it the most densely populated in Africa. Competition for land and resources contributed to decades of ethnic and political tensions that culminated in the 1994 genocide in which more than 800,000 ethnic Tutsi and the moderate Hutu who tried to protect them were killed.
President Paul Kagame's government has achieved significant economic progress since the genocide, but critics say it has come at the cost of political repression. Obedience to authorities is widely enforced, one reason Rwandan cities and towns are clean and among the most orderly anywhere in Africa. There is little political opposition.
Human Rights Watch has accused Rwandan authorities of targeting poor people in the arbitrary arrests of street vendors, sex workers, homeless people, suspected petty criminals and street children.
Some migrants who spoke to AP said they were frightened to be jobless in Rwanda and without opportunities to eke out a living.
Berhani, the refugee from Eritrea, said he ended up in the streets of Kigali looking for a job, dependent on friends for food and rent. “Life is difficult in Rwanda when you don’t have a job," he said.
“Some of my friends have managed to go back to Europe. One of my relatives has settled in Canada,” said Berhani. “One day, hopefully, I will manage to join them in Canada.”
In the Gashora camp for refugees in Rwanda's east, one man said he was one of hundreds of migrants sent from Libya who still plan to reach Europe.
“Many have left for Sweden already,” he said on condition of anonymity for his safety. He said he would leave “even if it means death,” saying refugees in the camp often don't have adequate food and clothing.
But some migrants in Kigali appear to have settled in well.
Frezghi Alazar, an Eritrean who co-owns a bakery, said he is grateful Rwanda gave him a “chance to thrive over the last 10 years.”
He spoke of the country as a bastion of order. “When you have capital and you start a business, nobody will come and take your business," he said. “You don’t need to bribe people here. There is security. So, there is some benefit in Rwanda.”
It remains unclear when the first migrants from Britain will arrive in Rwanda following the deal with the British government, which said the plan will discourage people from making dangerous attempts to cross the English Channel.
Rwandan authorities said the agreement would initially last for five years, with the British government paying 120 million pounds ($158 million) upfront to pay for housing and integrating the migrants. They have not said how they would deal with a possible influx when the program gets underway.
Plans to accommodate some of the migrants in a hostel in Kigali have upset a group of genocide survivors who have lived in the property for years. They spoke of short notice, raising the possibility of conflict with locals.
“The migrants will cause land conflict with the citizens and we must avoid this situation,” Frank Habineza, an opposition figure and lawmaker, told the AP.
Other critics raise tough questions, including what becomes of migrants who fail to qualify for refugee status in Rwanda.
“Will Rwanda transport them to (their) home countries?" said Tom Mulisa, a Kigali-based lawyer and human rights researcher. “Resettlement of migrants who fail the refugee status criteria should be (carefully considered). The responsibility lies to the host state in case they fail to pass the threshold of asylum-seeking."
